Chronology of cameras Voigtlander
When you open the back door, the logo of Balda-Werke appears inside. It is a Balda 344-X, whose name was changed for integration into the Voigtländer catalog, as the brand decided to stop manufacturing cameras. The camera bears only the Voigtländer brand, but the case is marked Zeiss Ikon Voigtländer. The exposure is automatically adjusted thanks to a CdS cell.
Magicube
The name Magicube was trademarked by Sylvania in 1970. The Magicube follows the general principle of the Flashcube but has the advantage of not requiring an electrical power source to be ignited.
In the early 1970s, Sylvania filed several patents for percussion-ignited bulbs that could be lit through chemical reactions among the elements contained inside the bulb. It only remained to package them in a plastic cube.
The Magicube is slightly larger than the Flashcube. To avoid any confusion, the shape of the part that inserts into the camera is different between the two models.
