The Baldalux was a folding camera 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 viewfinder mounted to the lens which can be rotated to 90 degrees for both horizontal and vertical pictures.
