Chronology of cameras Balda
During the second half of the 1950s, Balda used the same camera body for a complete range of cameras. The Baldina was offered in numerous variations depending on the combination of lenses and shutters. It lacked a light meter or exposure meter. The Baldina B included an exposure meter, and the Super Baldina featured a rangefinder.The second window on the top cover could be empty, occupied by the exposure meter, or a part of the rangefinder.
The lens was mounted on a helicoid in all models and always had a focal length of 50 mm. A small button on the front of the camera allowed the user to release the lens tube spring and extend the lens.

1 The Xenar 2.8 lens could be equipped with an optical accessory called the Longar 70 mm 5.6, which provided a magnification of 1.4.
2 The rangefinder adjustment is made using a ring located at the base of the lens barrel. The image alignment in the viewfinder is of the concentric type, with rose and yellow indications.
Upon customer request, it was possible to have a Baldina factory-converted into a Super Baldina, which could lead to some confusion considering the markings and technical specifications.__________
This copy of Baldina has a Baldanar 2.8/50 lens and a Pronto shutter, making it probably the cheapest of all the versions.
