This camera was built by Fritz Völk (military code: "gxn") in Berlin, not by Emil Busch. The Handkammer HK12.5/7x9 was used by the german airforce ("Luftwaffe") during WW II. It was the forerunner of the Hasselblad and the first hand camera which had a interchangable magazine. The lens used was a Schneider Xenon 2.0/12,5cm. This camera was similar to the "Reihenbildner" camera ("Rb 20/30", "Rb 50/30 and "Rb 75/30", military code: "nze") which was a motorized stationary camera used in airplanes.

Currently the camera by Fritz Völk is listed under Linhof (per Kadlubek's)
Seems like I need to rearrange them, thanks!

Correct – this is the camera which matches the text. Hasselblad "adapted" the concept of this camera and added some improvements, but this is NOT a Linhof camera. Thanks!
