The Ultrix is a folding bed roll film camera made by Ihagee, Dresden in 1930/1931. There are at least two 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 10.5/7.7 Ihagee anastigmat in a Zenit shutter(Z, B, 1-1/100s).
  • a 7/5.6 Ihagee anastigmat in a two-bladed Pronto shutter (T, B, 1-1/100s).
  • a three-bladed Pronto II shutter.

Ultrix cameras were supplied with both a brillant finder and a framefinder. Some models even may have had an Albada finder.
