Revision as of 04:15, 1 March 2013

The Pupille is a rigid-bodied 3×4cm camera, made in the 1930s by Nagel and later Kodak AG. It makes 16 exposures on 127 film, has a big helical mount holding the lens and shutter assembly, and a folding optical finder.

The lens and shutter combinations include:

  • Leitz Elmar 5cm f/3.5 with Compur 300[1][2]
  • Schneider Xenon 4.5cm f/2 with Compur 300[3]
  • Schneider Xenar 5cm f/3.5 with Compur 300
  • Cooke Anastigmat 2 inch f/3.5 with Compur 300




The Pupille has two small holes on the top plate, used to attach an external rangefinder made by Leitz, similar to that of the Leica Standard. Accessory reflex finders were also made, transforming the camera into some sort of TLR. At least two types were available; one is the Megoflex by Hugo Meyer, also made for other cameras; the other is pictured below and was made by an unknown manufacturer, perhaps Nagel.



The Pupille was sold in England by R. F. Hunter as the Rolloroy.[4]

The Ranca is a less expensive version of the Pupille, with a front-cell focusing 5 cm f/4.5 Nagel Anastigmat and an everset shutter.[5]
