The Baldalux folding camera was made by Balda in the 1950s. It is a 6x9 folder using 120 roll film, with a mask for 6x4.5 pictures. The Baldalux has frame lines in the viewfinder to indicate the 6x4.5 format. It also has a brilliant finder mounted to the lens which can be rotated 90 degrees for both horizontal and vertical pictures. The camera has double exposure indication on the top plate, which shows 'O' for unexposed, and 'E' for exposed.
