The '''Regula I-P''' was a [[35mm]] [[viewfinder camera]] made at Bad Liebenzell in the Black Forest by [[King|King KG]], in the early 1950s as a part of their [[Regula]] brand.
 
 
 
The construction of the camera is mostly aluminium, the only plastic parts are holder for the film cassette, and the film take-up. The film is advanced with a knob on the top of the camera. The film is rewound with an identical knob on the other side, you need to move the R-> switch on the back of the camera whilst rewinding. The film counter will only count when there is film in the camera, this is via a toothed wheel that sits in the film perforations; it is also connected to the shutter and will prevent the shutter from firing until the counter has increased by one.
 
 
 
The lens is fairly typical, basic triplet design 50mm, goes from f/2.8 through to f/16. The shutter is manually cocked with a lever on the top of the lens and speeds are bulb, 1s, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 and 1/300th. The shutter also has a self timer lever for about 8 seconds. There are flash synchronization points on the top of the lens housing; considering the age of the camera it's probably only synched for a flashbulb.
