The Bildmeister is a monorail camera made in about 1950 by Bermpohl of Berlin. McKeown lists it as a 9x12cm camera,[1] and a 10x15cm example was offered for sale at Westlicht.[2] The working parts of the camera are aluminium, and the frames of the front and rear standard are of hardwood. It has leather bellows.
One example, seen in a forum post, has some of the metal parts finished in a hammered-effect paint; these might be steel.[3]
