The Weltur was a coupled rangefinder folding camera using 120 film, made in the 1930s by the German company Welta. The lens was unit focused, driven by a small knob at one side of the folding bed, a system already used in the earlier Solida model.

The Weltur first existed in a 4.5x6 version, with a black finish. Then it was released in 4.5x6, 6x6 and 6x9 versions with a chrome rangefinder, looking like the rangefinder of the first Weltini model. The 6x6 and 6x9 versions were dual format and could also take 4.5x6 pictures, with a mask inserted in the exposure chamber and another slid in front of the viewfinder.
