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 rangefinder version has a coupled rangefinder and an extinction meter at the top; it always has unit focusing by a helical placed behind the shutter.
