The Deckrullo-Nettel is a series of wooden-bodied strut-folding plate cameras with focal-plane shutters. They were first made by Nettel Kamerawerk from about 1909,[1] and was continued both by Contessa-Nettel from 1919-26, and after that by Zeiss Ikon until 1928.
The Deckrullo-Nettel is an improved model of the Nettel; its name first appeared in catalogues as Deckrouleau-Nettel (Deck = 'cover'), referring to the self-capping focal-plane shutter (i.e. the shutter is light-tight while being tensioned; the shutter of the original Nettel is not self-capping; the cameras are otherwise very similar). The Nettel was produced alongside the Deckrullo-Nettel for some time.[1] The camera was available in many plate sizes:
- 6 or 6.5x9 cm[2][3]
- 3¼x4¼ inch (quarter plate)
- 9x12 cm[4][5]
- 10x15 cm[6][7]
- 4¼x6½ inch (half plate)
- 13x18 cm[8]
- Stereo models:
- 9x14 cm
- 9x18 cm

McKeown only lists the Zeiss Ikon camera in centimetre sizes.[1]
As often with cameras of this period, McKeown lists the Decrullo-Nettel with a vast range of available lenses, including ones by Goerz, Voigtländer and Carl Zeiss; examples sold at Westlicht suggest that many were sold with Tessars. The lens board has horizontal and vertical movements.
The shutter has a wide range of speeds, by adjustment of both the spring tension and the gap width between the blinds. The range of speeds differs from one plate-size to another, larger cameras having faster top speeds; the 13x18 cm camera has a top speed of 1/2800 second.[8]
The strut mechanism is characteristic of Nettel, and gives variable bellows extension for focusing, with a focus knob on the left side. The end of one of the struts appears as the pointer on a focus scale, in a slot in the top of the body. Of course, the camera also allows focusing with a ground-glass screen. The camera also has a wire frame finder.
The standard models of the camera have black leather body covering and black-painted lens boards.[9] There are also tropical models, with uncovered hardwood bodies and brown leather bellows, as illustrated above.[8]
Stereo models of the camera were also made;[10] these were developed further as the Stereax.
