The Perfekta is a Bakelite 6x6 120 film box camera made by VEB Rheinmetall in East Germany, c.1954. The body was made in black Bakelite, with cream-coloured controls.
The original model of the Perfekta has a flip-up frame finder. The lens is an 80 mm f/7.7 achromat (i.e. a two-element lens, rather than a simple meniscus, to lessen chromatic aberration). There is an aperture control knob below the lens, giving f/7.7, f/11 and f/16. A second knob on the side of the boxy lens housing selects between 'B' and 'I' shutter. The shutter-release is a button below the lens, opposite the aperture knob. The design is very much like the Druopta Efekta, except for the placement of the shutter control and release.
