The Reporter is a strut-folding press camera for 6.5x9cm plates, made by GOMZ in about 1938.[1] It has a coupled rangefinder, and a folding reverse-galilean viewfinder on the top. Ground-glass focusing can also be used. The camera has a cloth roller shutter, with speeds 1/5 - 1/1000 second, plus 'B' and 'T'. The standard lens is an Industar-7 105mm f/3.5, an uncoated Tessar-type; it is interchangeable. There is a cold shoe on the top, and a PC socket on the front.

Notes

  1. Reporter sold at the 35th Leitz Photographica Auction, on 23 November 2019. The auctioneer states that only twenty copies of the camera are known to exist, and compares it to the Plaubel Makina and the Nettar (but must surely mean a Super Ikonta).
