| Vertex 6,5 x 9 plate camera (1927?) image by Jaap Schelvis (Image rights) |
Vertex along with Erte were names used by Willy Stübiger for cameras and projectors. Stübiger was a former engineer at Goerz who started his own business in Dresden in 1927. The only known cameras are Folding cameras made before WWII. Projectors and enlargers were produced until 1967 around which time the company was renamed PGH "Präzision" and later VEB "Präzision Dresden".
The Vertex was made for 9x12 cm plates (several models including 112 and 119) as well as for 6.5x9 cm plates (known and illustrated here is model 98). Another line of cameras was called Verette which apparently took 127 film.
