Plaubel Makina

Makina cameras had leaf shutters and rangefinder focusing with collapsible bellows, except for the specialized 69W Proshift model.

The Japanese-made Plaubel Makina was a major redesign with Nikkor lenses and integrated metering.

The 55 mm was considered one of the sharpest and most flare-free of any produced during the analogue photography era.

The 69W Proshift has a 47 mm Schneider Super-Angulon and makes eight 6×9cm exposures per roll of 120 film.

The lens is mounted on a sliding flange which allowed for perspective control in the same manner as shifting the front standard of view camera.
