Revision as of 16:28, 12 January 2012 by Dustin McAmera (talk | contribs) (Noted that camera for 120 film; added term 'strut-folding' instead of description; changed cats)
The Dallmeyer Dual is a strut-folding camera for 4.5x6 cm photographs on 120 roll film, sold in 1931. It has an unusual aspect, with vertically oriented barn doors. The lens and shutter unit is mounted on a focusing helical. The lens is a Dallmeyer Dalmac Anastigmat 3" f/3.5, and the shutter is a rimset Compur (T, B, 1–250, self-timer). The duralumin body is leather covered, there is a folding frame finder and a folding leg with a curved shape.[1]
