The Baldaxette was a coupled rangefinder folding camera made by the German company Balda during the 1930s.
The Baldaxette I was the 4.5x6 version and the Baldaxette II was the 6x6 version. Both were nearly identical except the film format. They were based on the Baldax body for #0 shutter size. The Baldaxette were first sold in black and later in chrome, with the coupled rangefinder and the viewfinder in separate windows under a long top housing. Styling of the later chrome version was very similar to the bigger 6x9 model Super Pontura.
The lenses available on the Baldaxette included:
- Meyer Trioplan 7.5cm f/2.9
- Schneider Radionar 7.5cm f/2.9
- Schneider Xenar 7.5cm f/2.8
- Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 8cm f/3.5
- Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 8cm f/2.8
All were available with the Compur OS shutter to 1/250s, and could be optionnally fitted with the Compur-Rapid shutter to 1/400s.
