The Weltini was a 35mm folding camera made by Welta from 1937. It had a coupled rangefinder combined with the viewfinder, and was based on the body of the viewfinder Welti model. One interesting feature is that the focusing lever automatically returns to the infinity setting when you close the folding bed, so there is no risk of forcing and blocking it.
Two variants existed, the older one (1937-1938) had a squared top housing for the viewfinder and rangefinder, the later one (from 1938) had a rounded top plate running from one end to the other, and sometimes small variations to the back closing mechanism. Today the two models are sometimes called Weltini I and Weltini II, but at the time they were sold, they were simply called Weltini.
The shutter was the Compur-Rapid to 1/500s. The choice of lenses included:
- Leitz Elmar 5cm f:3.5
- Schneider Xenar 5cm f:2.8
- Schneider Xenon 5cm f:2
- Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f:2.8
