Does anyone know what camera this is outlined in red? My research skills are leaving me empty handed this time, I'm guessing it's a medium format camera, judging by the fact that everything else in the photo is MF. The pic is from a nearby camera shops website it is their generic cover photo for medium format gear, the point is it's a cool looking camera and I'd like to know what it is so I can try to track one down. Knowing my luck it's something extremely rare and amazingly expensive. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm... well if I wanted one bad enough and I don't think I do. I could start saving now and be good to go in 6 months to a year, but I don't see that happening.

yes, nice early-version 6x10 Veriwide. A $900-1500+ camera, in most cases.

It would be fun to try thats for sure I miss my 6x9 Super Ikonta, 6x10 would be even better. Probably just settle for another 6x9, even though I don't really need one.

Yes, to my understanding the camera was completely manufactured in Germany.

Released in 1959 by Brooks Co, New York, but built by Plaubel & Co, Frankfurt/Main.

There was also a special viewfinder made by Leitz / Wetzlar marked ``Veriwide 100´´ for the Plaubel Veriwide 100 6x10.
