Voigtlander Bergheil 9x12cm plate holders fit the AVUS?

Seems like they would, but...

?

Yes, they it will. Both of these cameras use "Normalfalz" plate holders - type 83 in Rada catalogue http://www.galerie-photo.com/manuels/dos-rada.pdf.

Stanislav is correct. I have Avus and Bergheil cameras and they use the same holders. The VAG use them too. If I remember correctly, the early Voigtländer metal plate cameras used a different holder, though, but those are "rare".

Thank you both.

It appears that some USSR/Soviet 9x12cm plates should work with the AVUS as well. Have some on order and will report back when I find out.
