Produced between 1936 and 1937, the Type 126 is distinguished by its distinct black lacquered body trim and nickel-plated top plate layout. Fitted with a sharp Kodak-Anastigmat Ektar 5cm (50mm) f\/3.5 lens set in a Compur leaf shutter, it combines vintage pre-war West German craftsmanship with a compact, drop-bed folding bellows body structure.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOverall Condition: Very Good\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOptics show minor haze with possible minor dust, free from fungus.
