Years '30 Baby Box Tengor - 3
The Zeiss Ikon Baby Box Tengor 54/18 is a tiny camera, measuring 8x7x6,2 cm. The version I have, with the plain leather front, is produces from 1931 till 1934. It shoots 16 pictures of format 3x4 cm on 127-rollfilm. It has only one shutterspeed (about 1/40th sec.), one aperture (about f/11) and fixed focus. So you can do nothing except press the shutterbutton and hope for the best.....
Lens is a doublet, so 2 lens-elements only.
Framing is really difficult, it is more hit or miss.
Buildquality is excellent, as could be expected from Zeiss Ikon, even in this very basic, tiny camera.
Film used is HP400@64.
Developed with Rodinal 1:50, presoak for 1 minute, inversions first 30 seconds and then 4 inversions every 30 seconds for 8:30 minutes at 20C. Stopbath with water, Jobo fixer.
