Camera Talk

well today i got tempted by a Super Baldina ...$65aus in an antique store.
resonable condition.and smack on the money of what they should be pricewise.
very tempted.....very very tempted.

Is it the one with the collapsible lens? I had two and sold one. I was going to sell this one, but it was so pretty after I got it cleaned up that I kept it.

However, the lettering on the camera's badge wore away, so I think it's a Super Baldina.

Yes it's the collapsible lens. shutter is a little sticky because of sittng idle...but hey,it's a compur......it will kick in when exercised a little.lens and rf are cleanish.focus helicoid is a little stiff. but it is to be expected from an old Lady approaching 70 years
all in all thshe is a nice camera for the price.

just had a closer look at the Badge.....yours may actually a rebadged Baldina. they were also sold as a 'Porst Hapo'

Just saw the continuation of the thread.

Mine is a GEN-U-INE Balda.

And here's the one that I didn't keep.

i stand corrected
