The Walz Automat 44 is an advanced, miniature Japanese TLR camera built between 1959-1960. This cute little camera uses 127 format film in otherwise all the usual ways you would expect of a medium format 120 twin lens camera. It does all the same things, just at about 2/3 the size.
It features a crank film advance and automatic first frame indexing when loading and a self-cocking shutter. It uses Bay 1 filters.

Walz Automat 44
We've gotta give this Walz Automat 44 another fifteen minutes of fame. This rare and very sweet camera is part of the uncommon family of 127 format twin lens cameras. Rollei had their own version - affectionately called a Baby Rollei - as did Yashica - named the Yashica 44, similar to the Automat, after the 4x4 negatives that the camera exposes.
