Closter Costruzioni Fotografiche srl was a camera maker based in Rome. The company was started in 1949. Its early products include the rather well-specified Princess series of fixed-lens rangefinders. Later cameras are much simpler. According to an article in Nadir magazine[1] Closter moved to Milan, and was then known as Nuova Closter, but did not stay in business for long after the move; most production was while the company was in Rome.
