Balda Rigona (35mm)

The Rigona (35mm) represents a typical mid-range 35mm camera produced by German manufacturer Balda in 1954. Designed as a straightforward viewfinder camera for the amateur market, it featured a coupled rangefinder and a built-in exposure meter, common features of its era. Constructed primarily with metal and offering basic functionality without significant innovations, the Rigona served as a practical and affordable tool for everyday photography during the post-war period of recovery and growing camera accessibility.
