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 had 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 with Nikkor lenses and integrated metering. Models 67 and 670 had Nikkor 80mm f/2.8 lenses, while the wide-angle model W67 or 67W used Nikkor 55mm f/4.5 lens. All three models take ten 6x7cm exposures on 120 rollfilm. The 670 model also accepted 220 rollfilm (20 exposures per roll).
