The Super Sport Dolly is a self-erecting folding camera for 120 film rolls, made by Certo in the late 1930s. It can make 6x6cm or, by means of a mask, 4.5×6cm exposures. The model C can take 4.5×6cm film plates too, via an insert on the back. The regular version has a folding optical viewfinder on the side and either front-cell focusing or unit focusing. 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. At least some models have a removable lens and shutter unit, exchangeable with a telephoto lens.
