Catalogue information
Most Regula cameras that are encountered are the simple plastic models from the 60s and 70s. However, the earlier Regula models from the 1950s were much more durable and sophisticatedly built cameras and some models can even be of great interest to photographic collectors. A beautiful example of such an interesting early built Regula camera is this Regula IIId, a KB rangefinder camera with built-in and linked Selenium light meter and interchangeable lens, which belonged to the absolute top models and of the Regula III series, which King Regula-Kamera Work KG. in Bad Liebenzell (Black Forest) from 1956 to 1958. The Regula IIId is a typical West German 35mm Präzisions camera, which is really very well built with an attractive styling. It is built very solidly and feels much less heavy than it looks because most metal parts of the camera body and lens are made of anodized aluminum. The King logo; the letter "K" in a crowned shield gives the camera an extra distinguished look. On the Regula IIId, the standard lens (Enna Regula-Ennit 1: 2.8 / 50mm) is interchangeable for a 35mm wide angle lens, a 90mm portrait lens or a 135mm telephoto lens. A universal mount viewfinder with frames for these lenses was optionally available. Photo 3 shows the Regula IIId camera with a Tele Ennalyt 3.5 / 135mm lens and a universal Regula push-up viewfinder with image frames for 35 to 135 mm.
