The Perfekta was 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 Perfekta 1 had a flip-up frame finder, an aperture controlled by a small knob below the lens, and a B/I shutter control on the side of the lens barrel. The shutter-release was a button below the lens, opposite the aperture knob.

The more rounded Perfekta P66 (c.1956) had 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.
