The Pupille was a 3x4cm rigid camera made by Nagel, later Kodak AG. It made 16 exposures on 127 film, had a big helical mount holding the lens and shutter assembly, and a folding optical finder. It had two small holes on the top plate to plug an uncoupled rangefinder made by Leitz, similar to the one on the Leica Standard.
The lens and shutter combinations included:
- Leitz Elmar 5cm f:3.5 with Compur 300
- Schneider Xenon 4.5cm f:2 with Compur 300
- Schneider Xenar 5cm f:3.5 with Compur 300
- Cooke Anastigmat 2inch 50mm f:3.5 with Compur 300
There was an accessory reflex finder called the Megoflex, made by Hugo Meyer, transforming it into some sort of TLR.
The Ranca was a less expensive version, with front-cell focusing and cheaper lens and shutter combinations.
