The Beltica was a folding camera for 35mm film, one of the first products of the Eastgerman VEB Belca-Werk, the former plant of Balda-Werk Max Baldeweg in Dresden. The distance selection wheel below the camera's optical viewfinder allowed proper vertical parallax correction. Another modern feature was the exposure counter whilst the lens was a traditional construction with folder, shutter and lens combined, but with shutter-release button on top of the camera body. Besides the B exposure mode it offered a T mode. In this mode the release button had to be pressed twice, the first time for opening and the second for closing the shutter.
The camera was available with different lens/shutter combinations. The technology of this camera was used as base for the development of Belca's famous stereo-camera Belplasca.
