Catalogue information
The Altix V was the first type of small viewfinder camera with interchangeable lens (own Altix bayonet) that was produced by Altissa Kamerawerk in Dresden from 1954. The camera housing of the Altix V was built very compact, the lenses, on the other hand, were relatively large compared to the camera housing. The following standard lenses were available for the Altix V; E. Ludwig Meritar 2.9 / 50 - Meyer Trioplan 2.9 / 50 or Tessar 2.8 / 50 mm. A 35 mm wide angle and a 90 mm telephoto lens were also available as options, as well as a universal viewfinder for the focal lengths 35 - 50 and 90 mm. The cheapest version of the Altix V was the one with the Ludwig Meritar 2.9 / 50 mm lens with a Vedur shutter. The most expensive version had the Zeiss Tessar 2.8 / 50 mm lens with a Tempor shutter. This copy with the Meyer Trioplan 2.9 / 50 mm lens and a Tempor-250 shutter belonged to the middle class version for which DM 290 had to be paid in 1956 to get it.
