Item Details
Description
Nachdem die Produktion der Ducati Sogno und Simplex Kameras um 1952 eingestellt wurde (hergestellt von der Societa scientifica radio brevetti Ducati), unternahm Antonio Gatto, Hersteller der Sonne Leica Kopien, einen Versuch, eine Kleinbild Vollformat-Meßsucherkamera auf der Basis der Ducati zu bauen. Die drei angebotenen Prototyp Deckkappen, mit wesentlichen Unterschieden zu den Halbformat Ducati Modellen (runde Meßsucherfenster, 24 x 36 mm Sucherfenster, Platz für einen Zubehörschuh, usw.) sind mit „Sonne C Germany Patent“ und „Sonne V Germany Patent“ graviert, eine montiert auf einem Verschlusskörper einer Ducati Sogno 6401.1 No. 06454. Auf jeden Fall Stücke aus einem interessanten Abschnitt italienischer Kamerageschichte.

Dabei: Ducati Sogno 6401.1 No. 8682 mit Vitor 1:2.8/35 mm No.33266 und Ledertasche.

After production of the Ducati Sogno and Simplex cameras had ceased around 1952 (produced by the Societa scientifica radio brevetti Ducati), Antonio Gatto, producer of the Sonne Leica copies, made an attempt to built a 35 mm full-format rangefinder coupled camera on the basis of the Ducati. The three offered prototype topplates, with major differences to the half frame Ducati models (round rangefinder windows, 24 x 36 mm viewfinder, space for an accessory shoe, etc.) are engraved with "Sonne C Germany Patent" and "Sonne V Germany Patent", one mounted on a Ducati Sogno shutter crate 6401.1 No. 06454. Definitely pieces from an interesting period of Italian camera history.

Included: Ducati Sogno 6401.1 No. 8682 with Vitor 35 mm f/2.8 No.33266 and leather case.
