Product description
The classic, analog Certo-Photo medium format camera, manufactured in the 1950s by the renowned German company Certo Kamera-Werk (Dresden) in what was then the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The device works with 120-film format (6x6 frame format). It's a perfect treat for collectors, lomography enthusiasts, and fans of unique retro design. About Certo Dresden: Certo Kamera-Werk was founded in 1902 in Dresden by Alfred Lippert and Karl Peppel. For decades, it was renowned for producing high-quality cameras (including the Dollina and Super Sport Certo series). After World War II, the plant found itself in the Soviet occupation zone, and later in the GDR, becoming part of the state-owned optical industry. This brand's cameras from the 1950s were distinguished by their exceptionally robust build, ease of use, and distinctive, timeless mid-century design. Technical and visual condition: Mechanical: The camera is in good working order. The shutter cocks correctly and responds dynamically to the trigger. Rings and moving parts operate smoothly. The viewfinder is clear. The camera has not been tested with photographic film. Visual: The condition is visible in the attached photos – very good for its age. The casing and metal parts are clean. Dimensions: Camera dimensions in the case: approx. 12 x 16 x 10 cm (ideal size for a shelf, dresser, or home display case). Included: Certo-Photo analog camera. Original, brown, leather, stiffened case with a shoulder strap (in excellent condition, stitching intact, fasteners functional).
