The Super Pontura was the top of the range of medium format folders made by Balda in Dresden, Germany, before World War II.
It was a 6x9 folding camera with a coupled rangefinder and a very sleek design. The rangefinder and the viewfinder had separate windows under a long chrome top housing. Styling was similar to the chrome version of the Baldaxette, a smaller 6x6 or 4.5x6 model of the same period. The lenses offered for the Super Pontura included:
- Meyer Trioplan 10.5 cm f/4.5
- Meyer Trioplan 10.5 cm f/3.8
- Schneider Radionar 10.5 cm f/4.5
- Schneider Xenar 10.5 cm f/4.5
- Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 10.5 cm f/4.5
All were available with a Compur OS shutter to 1/250, or optionally with a Compur-Rapid shutter to 1/400.
