Anybody recognize this camera?

[Kyle M.]

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.

Looks like a Veriwide to me.

I think your luck's out Kyle ...

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.

Yep, Brooks Plaubel Veriwide. Should be fun to try out.

My store had one in the used case for a while--- I think it went to eBay a while back...

 

[EdSawyer]

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.

Typos made on a tiny phone...

Yep, Brooks Plaubel Veriwide.

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

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.
