Equipment Type: MediumFormat
Equipment Brand: Altissa Brilliant -
Equipment Model: prism shaped german box camera
Price (S$): S$150
Description:
Altissa boxes were on of the prettiest box cameras ever made. This altissa Brilliant was manufactured by Eho Altissa in germany around 1954.
Other than on common box cameras the possible settings were given as values: B and 1/25 sec. for the shutter speed settings, and f8 and f16 as possible aperture settings.
*comes with a wooden spool and case!
The Altissar Periskop 1:8 lens was an even more uncommon feature since it consisted of a symmetric pair of single lens elements, with lens and shutter placed in-between. That decent kind of sophistication was enough to enable the camera to make better images than any cheap meniscus lens box camera.
Last not least the camera construction was more handsome than average boxes, and the big telescopic (or non-telescopic view-through ?) viewfinder was an advantage when compared to common box cameras' smaller finders.
It takes 6X6 on 120 rollfilm.
mind that the viewfinder is just abit (really abit) foggy.
