I P regulates number 76190 Enna-Haponar lens 50 mm / F2.8 number 13529 in Compur Rapid. Actually it is a Super Baldina. The shutter works, but the rangefinder no. Regula I series models (including I, IA IP, etc.) was a series of 35mm cameras manufactured by King KG between 1949 and 1953, the first camera was made King Regula I. The following models share the same basic body design, but each of them varies with different lenses, shutters and other parts such as knobs winding and counter mounts. Things that the models have in common are: - A small body made of aluminum but plump, usually covered with a leatherette resistant nylon. A shutter Prontor, Vario or Synchro-Compur cocked manually. A lens made by Steinheil usually trite and Enna, although some are marked as King Regulon, probably a Anastigmat design. Basic display without frame lines King logo (except III) and accessory shoe on top of the viewfinder hump Frame counter (two designs) and trigger on top of the viewfinder and film advance. Switch rewinding film just below the film advance (you can rewind the film when completed) Tripod socket 1/4"" at the bottom of the camera Two metal plates around the door of the film showing the name of the model and serial number Two small knots of metal on each side of the top plate of the camera for use with split rings to a neck strap. The size is about 130mm * 80mm * 70mm (width * depth * height) and weigh about 350-400g. The counter will only films when there is film in the camera, this is via a gear wheel which sits on the film perforations; It is also connected to the shutter and prevent the shutter release until the counter is incremented by one (double exposure prevention). Regula IP Type film advance: Handle progress Self Timer: Yes, about 8 seconds. Flash: PC socket at the top of the lens The differences in this model throughout production seem to be mostly cosmetic, the fact that there is an accessory shoe appears to be random in previous models. The only difference between the later version of Regula Regula IP and IP appears to be the lack of a King logo engraved on the hump of the viewfinder. King started the family business in Pforzheim in 1936 with the manufacture of electrical components. In 1938 larger facilities were acquired in Bad Liebenzell (Black Forest), but the war interrupted the plans, and the company reemerged as King Regula-Werk KG, affordable camera with Regula as main line. The company produced some light weapons and a wide range of 35mm cameras under various names, producing many for other companies including Boots, Dixons and Revue Foto-Quelle brand; while some were even built under license as far away as India. In 1970, a SLR project was not as successful cost a lot to the company (violation of patents Leitz? There is only one reference Internet, Brazil!), And pocket cameras acquired a much cheaper look often bought in Hong Kong. 110 format models kept the company afloat until 1984, when it was declared bankrupt, after having made a new camera disc did not sell. A brief revival allowed other manufacturers to design products Regula for a longer time, including Voigtländer, who commissioned its Vitoret 110 through King, even after production moved to Hong Kong.
