Hi from Spain.

Hello, fellow photographers! My name is Pedro Morell and I'm from Elche, Spain. I've been taking photos seriously for three years now, and I own a Canon 60D DSLR, but last week my parents, who knew my passion for old cameras, bought me this one in Prague. The camera is in good codition, and every mechanism is working. So, could anyone give me some more information from it? Is there any shop where I can buy film for it?

Hello Pedro and welcome to the forum!

I am not an expert on these folders, but many people here will be able to help. Please post a larger picture of the lens and shutter, without reflections, and same of the design in the back of the camera. Could you also post the text written around the lens?

This is important information for an identification. Exact dimensions would also be helpful.

Looks like a good quality German-made folder, maybe a Goerz Tenax.

Thanks for the answer.
The text on the lens says: Jos. Schneider & Cº Kreuznach Nº 185616 Xenar f: 4,5 F - 10,5 cm

Here you have some photos made with my reflex, instead of the crapy ones with the iphone:

I think your camera is a Welta Solida made by Waurich & Webber in Freital, Germany, circa 1935, value $100 +/- $20. Finding film may be a little tough, though the internet may help.

Thanks for the answer, I believe that you pointed me on the right direction.I've been looking at Welta's catalogue, and the Solida is not a film plate camera, but after searching a little I think that it's a Welta Rak, 6.5x9 film plate (I checked it).

Thanks for the help!
