The first (and more common) [[coupled rangefinder]] model has the rangefinder combined with a separate viewfinder and an extinction meter in a unit fastened on the side. The lens is either a Xenar or Tessar (uncoated); it always has unit focusing by a helical placed behind the shutter. The focus control is a lever above the shutter; the camera will only fold when this is close to infinity. The shutter release is still on the shutter.

Revision as of 14:06, 24 November 2011


The Super Sport Dolly is a self-erecting folding camera for 120 film, produced in the late 1930s by the German maker Certo based in Dresden. At least some models have a removable lens and shutter unit, exchangeable with a telephoto lens.

Viewfinder model

The viewfinder model has a folding optical viewfinder on the side and either front-cell focusing or unit focusing. It can make 6x6cm or, by changing the mask in the film chamber, 4.5×6cm exposures. Documneted with the following lens combinations:

Model C, for plates and rollfilm

The model C can take 4.5×6cm film plates too, via an insert on the back. There is a lever under the lens to adjust the position of the front standard for proper focusing when switching from one medium to the other.

Rangefinder model

The first (and more common) coupled rangefinder model has the rangefinder combined with a separate viewfinder and an extinction meter in a unit fastened on the side. The lens is either a Xenar or Tessar (uncoated); it always has unit focusing by a helical placed behind the shutter. The focus control is a lever above the shutter; the camera will only fold when this is close to infinity. The shutter release is still on the shutter.
