The '''Regula II''' was a [[35mm]] [[viewfinder camera]] made at Bad Liebenzell in the Black Forest by [[King|King KG]], in the early 1950's as a part of their [[Regula]] brand.
 
 
 
== Construction ==
 
The construction of the camera is mostly anodised 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 before doing this. 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.
 
 
 
== Functionality ==
 
The camera has no [[light meter]] or ability to set the [[film speed]]. The lens section is only connected to the body by one screw just inside the body. The lens is fairly typical, 50mm and goes from f/3.5 through to f/22, though the depth of field ring only shows up to f/16. Shutter speeds are in the one second to 1/300th second range with a bulb setting. 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 for a flashbulb.
