Camera collection .... Vintage Certo Super Dollina II (Dolina 2) 35mm Film Rangefinder Folding Camera (1950)
This is a Certo Super Dollina II, a 35mm rangefinder camera made by Certo Camera Work GMBH Dresden starting in 1950. The Super Dollina II was an update to the pre-war Super Dollina which made it’s debut in 1938. Featuring a coupled split image rangefinder and a unique folding chassis with top plate focus and shutter release, the Super Dollina II was a less expensive alternative to cameras like the Kodak Retina II. It was exported to western countries under the name Certo Super 35. The Super Dollina II was in production for a very long time and remained their top of the line model as the company would produce increasingly less expensive and basic cameras.

Wonderful, fantastic, very nice, excellent, well deserved, beautifully conditioned paper weight.
Beautiful camera. Really enjoy your posts. Keep 'em coming!
Lovely pictures of a lovely camera!
However, the name "Certo" made me chuckle! For those who don't know, "Certo" is the name of a brand of pectin! (Used to thicken jellies and jams.) 🤣
