Big Old Box
This large beauty has the distinction of being one of 3 of the first Zeiss labeled Box Tengor cameras ever released. At over 95 years old, it still performs perfectly. Bet you won't!
Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor 760
Vertical viewfinders
116 6.5x11cm Box Camera
Goerz-Frontar Achromat 130mm
2-element uncoated lens
Fixed-focus, Selectable pull-tab aperture f11, 18, 25
T, 1/25 sec. Instantaneous Rotary shutter
Made in Germany (1927-29)
Without Bulb, Cable release, or Tripod socket
Lever trips shutter in each direction
Sometimes we lose context in our critiques and judge these vintage cameras like they are new models on the shelf. It shouldn’t matter now what the comparisons were between them 50 to 100 years ago, or how they may compare to cameras made today. Now they are all beautiful collector items and an important part of history!
