Description

Prototype: Steinheil's Detective Camera
Steinheil, Munich. Design in process, still without lens and shutter. Interchangeable magazine for 6 x 9 cm plates, parallax compensation by shifting the front, for portrait and landscape formats. Made in especially light-weight material, obviously designed for mountaineers, hikers etc. This was one of the final constructions of its type, as the ordinary plate cameras had already started to dominate the market. – From the collection of Dr. Rudolf Loher, Munich, Germany. – Giant rarity!

Offensichtliche Zielgruppe: Bergsteiger, Wanderer etc. Es war eine der letzten Konstruktionen dieser Bauart, da die normale Plattenkamera bereits ihren Siegeszug antrat. Aus der Sammlung Dr. Rudolf Loher, München. – Absolute Rarität!
