The '''Ruberg-Futuro''' is a metal-bodied camera with a [[Bakelite]] screw-tube lens, made by [[Ruberg & Renner]] in Hagen, Germany, c.1933. The camera is fitted with a fix-focus [[Rodenstock]] [[Periskop]] f/11 lens. The everset shutter has T and I settings only.  The Ruberg-Futuro takes 3x4 or 4x6.5cm exposures on [[127 film]]. The top of the camera has a serrated film advance knob on the right and a simple flip-up frame viewfinder. When the helical focussing tube is fully extended, the viewfinder automatically pops up. The body of the camera is smooth and the ends are rounded.
