Item Details
Description
35mm SLR camera with 'periscopic' view finding, similar to the Periflex (and predating it). The camera was designed and made by Franz Robert Neubert in Jena from 1950, based on his earlier Leica copy, the Neuca. Made in very small numbers, only about 3-4 Neucaflex cameras are known to exist. It has a mirror and pentaprism, arranged to give a magnified view of the center of the frame in the viewfinder for focusing. When the shutter release is pressed slightly, both the mirror and pentaprism swing out of the optical path, and the eyepiece now forms part of a reverse-Galilean finder for framing before exposure. The camera uses Leica-mount lenses, and its controls (shutter speed selector, film advance and rewind knobs) are similar to those of a Leica. It has shutter speeds 1/20 - 1/1000 second, plus 'B'. After only a few months, production of a new version of the camera, the Ucaflex began, by UCA in Flensburg. The offered camera has a unique finish with 'reptile' imitation leather covering. It comes with three matching Meyer M39 lenses: (1) Primoplan 1.9/58mm no.1109616, (2) Trioplan 2.8/100mm no.1125855, (3) Tele Megor 5.5/180mm no.1112951 - all lenses in perfect condition, with caps, 2 special Meyer cases. The camera is in beautiful original condition, the base plate is stamped '20' and comes with original leather case, and also 17.5mm + 35mm extension tubes - a sensational discovery from the early German post-war camera history !
