Chronology of cameras Bentzin
This camera sets records for longevity, and it's understandable considering the technological advancement it offered when it was released around 1900. The shutter with a curtain allowed for exposures as short as a thousandth of a second, and even though it wasn't exceptional, it wasn't the norm at the time.
It was produced in several formats.
This particular model is equipped with a French Boyer Saphir lens with a focal length of 270 mm and an aperture of 6.3.
Originally, the rigidity of the bellows was ensured by four struts. After the Second World War, two were deemed sufficient.
