Description

This is my Recomar 18, a beautiful little 1930s folding plate camera from Germany. It's a very well-designed and beautifully built instrument from the hand of renowned camera designer Dr Auguste Nagel, whose Nagel Kamera Werk in Stuttgart was bought by Kodak in 1932. It has a 105 mm f/4.5 Kodak Anastigmat lens set in a Compur shutter with speeds from 1 - 1/250 sec., plus T and B.

The Recomar 18 was originally designed to expose 6.5 x 9 cm glass plate negatives, but sheet film holders are available as well. I shoot J and C Classic 200 in 6.5 x 9 cm sheets in this camera. There is also a larger model called the Recomar 33, which exposes 9 x 12 cm negatives. One can think of the Recomar as a tiny news camera with its wireframe viewfinder, or a miniature view camera with its ground glass focuser, sheet film and rise and shift on the front lens standard.
