The Weltur was a series of rangefinder folding cameras 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 distance setting was visible in a small window on the interior of the folding bed. The rangefinder was coupled, and combined with the viewfinder. There was a depth of field table on the top plate, and a body release.
The Weltur first existed in a 4.5×6 version, with a black finish. Then it was released in 4.5×6, 6×6 and 6×9 versions with a chrome rangefinder, looking like the rangefinder of the first Weltini model. The 6×6 and 6×9 versions were dual format and could also take 4.5×6 pictures, with a mask inserted in the exposure chamber and another slid in front of the viewfinder. They had two red windows on the back.
