The '''Avus''' series of folding plate cameras was made by [[Voigtländer]] in Germany from 1913 to 1934. These medium-to-upper-quality cameras were made in both 6.5x9cm and 9x12cm versions. They had double-extension bellows, were 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''' design, or with a '''Voigtar''' lens. The front lens standard allowed a small amount of both rise/fall and lateral shift. Other than that, they were typical of the other folding plate cameras of the day, with big folding sports finder and additional brilliant viewfinder. The name ''Avus'' was taken from a popular car race circuit in Berlin, the first speedway of [[Germany]]. | The '''Avus''' series of folding plate cameras was made by [[Voigtländer]] in Germany from 1913 to 1934.

The Avus series of folding plate cameras was made by Voigtländer in Germany from 1913 to 1934. These medium-to-upper-quality cameras were made in both 6.5x9cm and 9x12cm versions. They had double-extension bellows, were 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 design, or with a Voigtar lens. The front lens standard allowed a small amount of both rise/fall and lateral shift. Other than that, they were typical of the other folding plate cameras of the day, with big folding sports finder and additional brilliant viewfinder. The name Avus was taken from a popular car race circuit in Berlin, the first speedway of Germany.
