The Ruberg-Futuro is a simple but stylish camera for 4x6cm exposures on 127 film, made c1933. It's got a helical telescoping lens tube with a cool feature: When you twist the lens tube all the way out, the sports finder pops open automatically via the little actuator button seen behind the finder.
This particular example isn't exactly pristine, but it didn't cost much. The Ruberg-Futuro was also made with a red body, but those tend to fetch a much higher price.

	John Kratz says: Thanks for appreciating this one, Rick. I really like the Rubergs. I'd love to have one in nicer shape, but they don't come up very often. Posted 5 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	ricksoloway says: Have you seen the one with red and black swirl paint job? So hot. Posted 5 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	John Kratz says: Yeah those red ones are great. I have yet to see a pristine Ruberg though. I don't think they were in production very long. Posted 5 weeks ago. ( permalink )
