It features an interesting function copied from the pre-war Welta Weltini - the focusing lever (and lens) automatically returns to the infinity setting when the folding bed is closed, simplifying that procedure & preventing inadvertent damage to the camera. As in the Weltinis, the inclusion of this feature resulted in a much deeper drop-down bed than in earlier Welti cameras. Early Welti I cameras can be found equipped with pre-war Schneider lenses in Compur shutters, which can be misleading when trying to date the camera. Later, after those supplies ran out, the cameras were usually equipped with Zeiss Jena Tessar or Meyer Trioplan lenses in Vebur & Cludor shutters. in production until 1950, it was replaced by the Welti Ic, which has the viewfinder integrated into a raised area on the top plate, with the accessory shoe on top of the that housing. Parallax compensation is provided through the use of a knurled ring surrounding the eyepiece. The this last model was produced well into the 1960s. Film Camera Welta Welti 1. Working Camera.
