Another Vintage Camera for Ebay

This is the next vintage camera for ebay.
It is a vintage Zeiss Ikon Baby Box Tengor

This was made by Zeiss Ikon Germany in 1934 with a model number of 54/18.The size is very small being 80 x 60 x 60cm.
It is made of pressed steel with a black leatherette covering.
Film used is 127 format and you can get 16 images on one film.The lens is a fixed focus with an F11 aperture with a shutter speed of 1/25 sec and a Plus B setting.The lens is a Goerz Frontar with a blade shutter.
 It has an empty film spool in the back and the shutter will not work unless the wire sight frame is pulled up out of the body of the camera.
There is a socket for a tripod and a threaded hole for a shutter release cable.
It has what is called an achromat lens which is two very thin cemented together lens elements although this cannot be detected by eye.
For a quality finish the capping paddle on the self return release has been  mirror plated so when you look in the front of the lens you see a mirror instead of a plain black hole.
When taking a picture there is no need to worry about aperture,shutter speed or focusing,just frame your picture and take the photo.To change from portrait to landscape simply turn the camera on it's side.

I am adding details to these cameras on my blog as I refer prospective buyers from ebay to this site for more details about each camera and hopefully be of interest to you .

I hope this goes to another collector like the last camera which was sold to a photographer in Cantley QC Canada who not only collects vintage cameras but also takes pictures with them.
