Hello,
I wonder if any (rigid, not folder) Rangefinder(s) was ever produced for the 127 film format (4 x 6.5 or 4x4 cm)?
Do you know anything about this type of camera?
Best Regards,
Thomas

I own a Foth Derby RF, nice little gem. Not really rigid, not really a folder, but it has some bellows
I'd like to own a Multex, but I cannot justify the expense just because I like the maker...
There are also a Welmy 44 or an Auto Keef, but I have yet to see one. Others, such as the Arsen, were sold with an accesory external, uncoupled rangefinder.

There was a Bell & Howell model, too. But I haven't ever seen one up close and personal.
