'''Plaubel''' is originally a German camera maker, founded in 1902 by Hugo Schrader as a distributor and lens maker. It began the production of cameras in 1910. It became famous for the [[Plaubel Makina|Makina]] series of press cameras, introduced as early as 1911 and withdrawn around 1960. After the war, it also made [[monorail view camera]]s, and a 9×9 SLR, the [[Makiflex]]. In 1975 it was bought by Kimio Doi (of the [[Doi]] company) and effectively became a Japanese company. It launched a modernized successor to the Makina, called the [[Makina 67]], in cooperation with [[Konica]], and later with [[Mamiya]]. It stopped the production of the Makina 67 in 1986. Plaubel continues to produce large format cameras (Peco Profia for 4×5, 5×7, 8×10) but also a 6×9 digital camera (PL69D).
