The Belfoca is a folding camera for 6x9cm images on 120 film, made by Belca. It can also be used with a mask for 6x6cm exposures. It has features that facilitate film load, exposure counting and closing the camera. The frame finder, the optional accessory brilliant finder and the shutter release button on top are further features to make this camera user-friendly. It was so popular that Feinmess in Freital started making camera lenses because other makers like Ludwig and Meyer had difficulties in supplying enough lenses. The camera was available with fast f4.5 lens or normal f6.3 lens. Shutter equipment was a multi-speed Tempor or Prontor shutter or a three-speed Binor or Junior shutter.
