The Voigtländer Alpin are horizontal folding bed plate cameras made from 1907 to 1928. The cameras had double or triple extension bellows. A Teletubus with 2½× magnification could be mounted inside the unfolded camera. Tourists liked the camera because it was quite compact when folded, provided a horizontal format suitable for landscapes and group photographs, and it was made of light metal. It was produced in a wide variety of models each featured a different lens or negative size..
Two main formats were offered, 9x12 and 10x15, the latter for panorama and stereo imagery.
