Rittreck IIa + Luminar 3,5/105mm | Medium format camera

The Rittreck IIA with Luminar 105mm f3.5 (delivered without a back, with the box and original strap) The Rittreck IIA is a reflex camera with a maximum 6x9 horizontal format, manufactured by the Japanese company Musashino Kōki between 1955 and 1965. Musashino would later be known for its 6x6 reflex Norita or its folding view cameras and Vista backs. The brand has always been recognized for the finesse and mechanical elegance of its productions (for example: the Vista backs feature a completely new lateral front-decentering system on a folding camera, even surpassing Linhof Technika). The Rittreck IIA is an atelier reflex in the American Graflex tradition from which it takes inspiration. It is equipped with a focal-plane shutter with speeds ranging from 1/2 sec to 1/400 sec. It can accept lenses with focal lengths greater than 90mm. Main features: - Metal body in aluminum - Vertical-travel focal-plane shutter - Slow speeds from 1/2 sec to 1/20 sec - Fast speeds up to 1/400 sec - X sync - Focusing by moving the front standard (focus carriage with bellows) - 6x9 ground-glass w/ folding hood and loupe - Sports finder - Interchangeable backs for 120 roll film to Plaubel standard (like Makina). Rittreck backs exist in 6x9, 6x7, 6x6, 6x4.5 formats.
