The Ultrix is a series of self-unfolding and non self-unfolding roll film cameras made by Ihagee, Dresden in the period 1922[1]/1939. There are at least two format versions of this camera, the smaller one taking 4.5×6cm pictures on 127 film. The larger one is a dual format camera using 120 film or 6.5×9cm glass plate backs. It takes 6×9cm pictures or 4.5×6cm when using an insertable mask. Its full name is Ihagee Zweiformat-Auto-Ultrix. A number of lens shutter combinations are reported: among them

  • a 10.5/4.5 Schneider Radionar set in a Compur shutter (Z, B, 1-1/250s).
  • a Radionar f:4,5 F=10,5cm Schneider-Kreuznach in Prontor II shutter (T, B, 1-1/150s).
