Ansco Titan

The folder addiction continues. These cameras are just so easy to carry and shoot medium format film with and produce stellar images.

Ansco introduced this 6x6 folder rangefinder for 120 film in the latter half of 1948. It is similar to the Ansco Speedex but was an upscale model to the more inexpensive model. It has a 90mm f/4.5 anastigmatic lens believed by some to be made by Wollensak. There was a wider range of apertures and shutter speeds.

The most interesting aspect of the camera is a color coded depth of field scale on the lens. It's quite handy since it does not have a coupled viewfinder meaning focus is done by measuring distance.
