Plaubel Makina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Plaubel Makina was a series of medium format press cameras manufactured by Plaubel & Co. in Germany from 1912 through 1953, and later a Japanese-made camera distributed by Doi from 1978 through the 1980s.

All Makina models featured leaf shutters, and rangefinder focusing with collapsible bellows.

German-made Plaubel Makina models included the 1, 2, 2s, 3, and 3R.

The Japanese-made Plaubel Makina was a major redesign, and featured Nikkor lenses and integrated metering. Models 67 and 670 featured a Nikkor 80mm f/2.8 lens, while the wide-angle models 67W and 670W featured a Nikkor 55mm f/4.5 lens. All four models exposed 6x7cm frames.
