The Avus series of folding plate cameras was made by Voigtländer in Germany from 1913 to 1934. These medium-to-upper-quality cameras are seen in both 6.5x9cm and 9x12cm versions. They have double-extension bellows and are equipped with Ibsor or Compur shutters (either the older dial-set or the newer rim-set versions), and high-quality Tessar-type lenses, such as Voigtländer's own Skopar, or a Voigtar. The front lens standard allows a small amount of both rise/fall and lateral shift. Otherwise they are typical folding plate cameras of the period, with a big folding sports finder and additional brilliant finder. The name Avus was taken from a popular car race circuit in Berlin, the first speedway of Germany.
