Avus with rim-set compur shutter |
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 6x9cm and 9x12cm versions. They had double-extension bellows, were equipped with 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. 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 folding sports finders and brilliant viewfinders.
