The Voigtländer Virtus was produced in 1932. It was a folding 120mm film camera with a Compur 250 or a Embezet 250 shutter behind a Skopar f/4.5 75mm or Heliar f/3.5 75mm lens. It used 120 film to produce 4.5x6 negatives. The Virtus was the first camera to have a parallax corrected viewfinder coupled to the lens[1]. Focusing was done with a knob located on the cameras body and could be done with the camera open or closed.
