Foth-Derby I (front, open)

The German-designed Derby is a strut folding viewfinder camera for 127 film rolls, made by Foth from 1930 to about 1940.

Designed in 1930, the Foth Derby was intended as a more affordable but still high-quality alternative to the expensive Leica and Contax cameras that had come on the market. The Derby sported a cloth focal plane shutter capable of shutter speeds of 1/500th of second.

A range of variants of the Foth-Derby exists. This is the early model (type 1) from 1930. Subtype 1b (identified by the plain edges around the film counter windows). Telescope Viewfinder Type I

The camera is worn and the shutter is defective. The bellows are in good condition.

Lens: Foth Anastigmat f3.5/50mm
