Nice name, but it does not look tha different from other folders of the same era. The lens seems to suggest it's a 6x9, and the Radionar should be a triplet. Nice large negatives. Smile

I have experience with Radionar excellent lens no matter that is a triplet.

This is late version used by Franka

This is same level camera I think from Voigtlander

I agree, the triplets for most of these aren't bad.

Sometimes you will find an obvious problem in the corners at infinity.

I like the combination of the Radionar + Prontor shutter. Very easy to clean and fix. Easy to adjust infinity. The grease doesn't become cement.

I don't have the Ihagee, but I like the style of the struts. A little different.

Thank you Louis for fixing info!

I just noticed -

That has a helical, its not a front cell focus.
More interesting !
The lens is probably better because of that.

I have a couple like that, a 6.5x9 Agfa plate camera and a Voigtlander

The Agfa is stuck with the old Agfa cement grease and the Voigtlander needs a new bellows.

Yes, made like an RF camera, but no RF

Ihagee Auto Ultrix 1939 by Nesster, on Flickr

Some flickr collectors have them... while all folders start looking alike, this one has some very nice touches and should be fun to use.
