The Certosport is a double-extension folding plate camera, made by Certo in Dresden, Germany, from about 1929.[1] It has a metal body, covered with black leather. It has rack-and-pinion focusing, and front rise and shift. It has both a wire-frame viewfinder and a brilliant finder, with a spirit level attached. It was made in 6.5×9 cm and 9×12 cm sizes.
As is often the case with folding cameras, the cameras were sold with numerous choices of lens and shutter.
A new version of the camera was introduced in about 1934, but only in the smaller size; McKeown states that this is identical to the Certotrop except that it does not have that camera's interchangeable lens.[1]
