Rodenstock was a lens maker who also sold rebranded cameras made by Welta. This one is a Welta Perle, 6 x 9 folding camera.


It’s a very attractive camera. The lens is a Rodenstock Trinar, a sharp and capable triplet. It has a simple Vario everset shutter.

I took these photos with the Rodenstock Citoklapp today in Tiverton, Rhode Island. This is Fomapan 400 developed in Rodinal- a grainy combination.
