Rajar No. 6

The Rajar No. 6 was made by the British camera makers' group APM. Rajar Ltd. was part of that company. The No. 6 of their cameras was the first strut folding camera with all three main outer parts, the body, the back and the lens standard, made of bakelite. The camera was introduced in 1929. Beyond that fact it was a quite basic camera model, with meniscus lens behind a self-cocking shutter that offers instant and time mode, a turnable reflecting type viewfinder built into the standard, and film advance by key with help by a red exposure counter window in the back. The shutter release lever is placed below the lens standard. The camera was a strut folder with cross-swing struts. It made 8 6×9cm exposures on a roll of type No. 120 film on special Rajar film rolls for the square film drive of the camera.
