1950s Pouva Start 6x6 camera, BNIB, East German

This was found in Chemitz, the former Karl Marks Stadt, in Germany. It is in the original box, with the original wooden film reel, and the leather strap unopened, instructions and tripod adapter.

It works perfectly.

Described as having an 80mm f8 Duplar lens.

In Sunny Weather, uses f16

Therefore, presumably it is best used with 50ASA film, or thereabouts, based on the Sunny F16 Rule.

Shutter speed 1/30th, and B.

The box lid has a tear on one corner.
