Who made it?

Description

The lens is a Carl Zeiss Jena.

The shutter is a Deckel Compur.

But who made the camera? I don't know. It takes 120 roll film, 9 images to the roll - that is, 60mm x 80mm negs - in an interchangeable back that says Rada on it, but the camera body doesn't, and nor do any of the other backs, of which there are several: a ground glass screen with hinged hood and leather blinkers, or a selection of holders for glass plates. So a real enthusiast's camera in its day...late 1920s or early 1930s, I think.

Very recently acquired, and 100% working.

It's an amazing fact that it's still %100 working. There's no way I would see the DSLR will be working for that lifetime! I guess it'll be quite heavy to carried around.
