The Olbia 6x6 pseudoTLR is an Omega Eikon with a better Gitzo shutter. This can be demonstrated by the fact that the 'Olbia' Label riveted on top of the viewfinder covers up the 'Omega' brand markings which are embossed into the viewfinder lid.[1] The Olbia 6x6 is a pseudo TLR, sporting a large Brilliant finder that projects the view mirror imaged. The camera body is made of Bakelite with a metal viewfinder and a metal back. The camera takes 620 film.


The following models are known:
