History
Balda was a German maker based in Dresden that made a quantity of medium-range folders before World War II. It was quite comparable to Welta or Certo.
After the war, Balda was nationalized in East Germany, and later became Belca. It continued for some time to produce little 35mm folders like the Beltica, and was finally absorbed by Welta.
Its founder Max Baldeweg fled to West Germany, and set up a new company called Balda, this time based in Bünde. It produced a series of medium range cameras until at least the 1970s.
