| a Mess-Baldix |
The Baldix cameras were a series of folding cameras derived from the Baldax series.
The Baldix was like the postwar Baldax without the frame counter, and the Mess-Baldix was a Baldix with an uncoupled rangefinder. The Baldi 29 was a later, cheaper model based on the same body, with a more rounded top housing and a f:2.9 lens, hence the name. The range of cameras available at the 1956 Photokina included the Baldi 29, Baldix and Super Baldax, all models that were still available in 1959–60[1].
