Made in Germany. According to the documentation, the Baldax camera (the camera for sale) from BALDA, founded in Dresden, Germany in the 1930s, also appears to be from the 1930s. The lens is a Tessar 7.5cm f4.5, but there seem to be models with other famous lenses such as Radionar and Trioplan. The shutter operates smoothly at all speeds. The aperture blades are free of rust and move in a perfect circle. Focusing is done by rotating the front lens element, which moves smoothly and lightly. It has been greased and adjusted. When the front lens is set to infinity and infinity focus is confirmed with a loupe from the film plane (a standard method for 4x5 film photography), infinity is achieved. In other words, a ring-shaped spacer was inserted between the lens and the lens board to adjust the infinity ∞ mark on the focusing ring to match the infinity on the film plane. The exterior has overall paint peeling and has been repainted. The lens has been disassembled and cleaned and is clean. When viewed with a penlight at the T position and wide open aperture, there is, of course, no mold, dust, or dirt, but there are very slight dot-like scratches or abrasions. These could not be removed even after cleaning. This is common with old lenses, perhaps because the glass material of the time was soft. No price negotiations, no returns, no refunds.
