My new beauty - Baldessa 1 camera from 1958

BALDESSA 1. BALDANAR 1: 2,8/ 45 BALDA WERK BUNDE. GERMANY 1958






The Baldessa is a range of comparatively cheaply-made 35mm viewfinder and rangefinder cameras produced by Balda in Germany from c.1957 to the late 1960s

The Baldessa I was introduced in 1957 with a Westanar 45/2.8 lens in a Prontor-SVS shutter. It was updated in 1958 to have a bright-line finder, with a second window to illuminate the frame. This model has a Baldanar, Color-Isconar or Westanar 45mm/f2.8 lens in a 3-speed Vario, Pronto, Prontor 125 or Prontor-SVS shutter. The base has a film reminder fitted around the tripod bush, and the rewind release is angled out to form a foot for standing on a horizontal surface.
