Medium Folding Cameras

A folding camera is a camera that can be folded to a compact and rugged package when not in use. The camera objective is sometimes attached to a pantograph-like mechanism, in which the lid usually is a component. The objective extends to give correct focus when unfolded. A cloth or leather bellows keeps the light out. When folded, the camera has an excellent physical size to film size ratio. This feature was very appealing when the only film formats available were large or medium format films.
Folding cameras were dominant from the beginning of the 20th century to WWII, and medium format folders were produced in USSR until the 1960s. The typical amateur camera of the 1930s was a folding 6x9 camera using either the 120 or 620 film size.

Very popular cameras. Absolutely vintage look and very good image quality. Some famous brands such as Carl Zeiss produced some real beauties.
