There is also the Perfekta folding TLR camera

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.


The more rounded Perfekta II and Perfekta P66 (c.1956) has a collapsible lens barrel, an optical finder and a ring around the lens to control shutter speed. The shutter-release was moved to the top of the body.
