Regent
From Camerapedia.org
The Regent was a 6x9cm folding camera made by Kodak AG (former Nagel company), in the 1930s.
It had an original design, very rounded like a piece of soap, and a black finish. It was an advanced camera with a coupled rangefinder and a folding optical finder.
The Regent II was its successor. It had a more conventional design, with a squared chrome top plate. The release button acted at the same time as a focusing button. It had a Schneider Xenar 10.5cm f:3.5 and a Compur-Rapid shutter to 1/400. The Regent II is considered to be very rare.
