Nagel Pupille (Elmar)

{"overview":"The Nagel Pupille is a compact strut-folding camera for 127 roll film, producing 3×4 cm exposures, introduced by Dr. August Nagel's Stuttgart works in the early 1930s. Because these are wholesale saleroom results, retail dealer asking prices tend to sit higher than the value figures cited here.","buying_guide":"Inspect the folding struts and bed for straightness, as bent struts affect film-plane alignment and are difficult to correct. Check the Elmar lens for haze, separation and clean aperture blades, and confirm the shutter fires accurately across all speeds, since service support for the period leaf shutter is limited to specialist repairers.
