German reconnaissance cameras
Does anyone know the weights of the Rb 50/30 and Rb 12,5 7x 9 cameras? None of the references I've looked at seems to mention how heavy they were.

Re: German reconnaissance cameras
There is a discussion of the Rb **/30 series on this link.
http://www.airrecce.co.uk/cameras/Lu...2_cameras.html They give the weight of the Rb 75/30 with all film loaded and attachments as 160 lbs.

RC 50/30 63 lbs but with all the ancillary equipment 160 lbs RC 20/30 55 lbs but with all the ancillary equipment 131.5 lbs
