La Fotomeccanica C. Lupo was a maker of large-format studio cameras in Turin, at least between the 1930s and 1960s. Danilo Cecchi states that the firm began operating in 1932,[1] and gives the names of three cameras:
- Victoria (1935) - 13x18cm and 18x24cm (referred to by Cecchi as a 'fotocamera da terrazza', a phrase not found elsewhere: system translation offers only 'terrace camera' or 'patio camera')
- Aldina (1960) - 13x18cm technical camera;[2] Cast front and rear standards in hammered-finish paint or enamel, mounted on two chrome-plated rails; tapered bellows, and short enough to be portable. Appears to offer front rise and shift, front and rear tilt and swing. Circular metal lens-board.
- Studio 7 (1962) - 13x18cm (referred to by Cecchi as the Studio 7 models, in the plural)[1]
