I found this beauty in a flea market a few years ago.
A Regula Super automatic.
A Regula Super automatic.
The only cameras I knew from Regula were all those cheap and omnipresent Sprinty.
This one is in a completely different league.
It's a rangefinder, with interchangeable lens, in a bayonet mount, coupled selenium light meter, selectable bright marks, in the viewfinder, for 50, 90 and 135 mm lens and, above all, a very smart look.
I only regret not having found yet another lens for it but, I haven't given up.
This was manufactured by Regula-Werk King KG at Bad Libenzell, former West Germany.
The lens is a Isco-Gottingen Regula-Color-Westanar 1:2.8/50, in a Gauthier (AGC) Prontor SLK shutter, with a range from one second to 1/300 plus B and self timer.
The bright viewfinder not only accommodates the rangefinder it also performs parallax correction.
The accessory shoe is of the cold type. There's a flash sync contact on the front, selectable, on the shutter, for X or M sync.
Dimensions: 135 x 90 x 76 mm
Weight: 645 g

It's an enjoyable, usable camera, although the light meter on this example is dead.
Following, some shots taken with it:
