King Regula Rapid SL (1966 – early ’70s) ✨ The King Regula Rapid SL is a hidden gem from West Germany, produced by King KG (King Kamera-Werk) in Bad Liebenzell. Part of the Regula series, this compact rangefinder camera was aimed at serious amateurs in the 1960s. ✅ Rapid system convenience – no rewinding needed, film automatically moved into an empty cassette. ✅ “SL” = Seiten-Lade (Side Loading) – easier and faster film loading. ✅ Coupled rangefinder + f/2.8 lens – sharper shots and more control than simple box cameras. ✅ Selenium cell light meter – no batteries needed, fully mechanical operation. Although Kodak’s Instamatic overshadowed the Rapid system, the Regula Rapid SL stands out today as a rare collectible, offering that true retro shooting experience with a 24×24 mm square format. A real slice of 1960s camera history – compact, stylish, and perfect for analogue photography lovers. #KingRegulaRapidSL #KingRegula #RegulaRapid #RapidSystem #VintageCamera #FilmCamera #RangefinderCamera #Lomography #LomographyLove #ShootFilmStayBroke #AnaloguePhotography #FilmCommunity #FilmIsNotDead #ILoveFilm #FilmPhotography #CameraCollectors #RetroCamera #VintageCamerasOfInstagram #35mmPhotography #FilmLife #FilmShootersCollective #SquareFormat #AnalogueVibes #VintageFinds #CameraHistory
