The Bergheil is a folding plate camera mad by Voigtländer in Braunschweig (Brunswick) from 1911 until World War II.[1] It was available in different sizes: 4.5x6 cm, 6.5x9 cm, 9x12 cm and 10x15 cm.

There is a special edition with green leather covering and bellows. McKeown dates these cameras to 1932-6, and describes them as a step up from the black models, but [..] not truly 'Luxus' models; he states that the green leather of the bellows tends to darken with age, giving the impression of more than one available colour.[2] The two examples pictured here only differ in the lens, and the shutter size.

The 4.5×6cm model (or "Baby Bergheil") is quite different from the larger models, notably differing in the shape of the folding struts and the position of the brilliant finder.

Interchangeable lenses
Most Bergheil cameras have an exchangeable lens/shutter unit, attached via a bayonet. Many of the lenses are of the excellent Heliar type, invented in 1900 by Dr. Hans Harting for Voigtländer, often combined with shutters of the leading brand Compur.

The standard telephoto lens mounted on the Bergheil was the Voigtländer Tele-Dynar.
