Chronology of cameras Goerz

Traduction de P-Y Petit

It is a very nice “klapp” (strut folding) using 4.5x6cm plates.

It has a Goerz Berlin Dopp Anastigmat Celor 75 mm F4.5 lens, with a minimum focusing distance of 2 meters.

A small 15mm-long ring is screwed on the lens: it is the lens hood!

The shutter has speeds up to 1/250th.

This particular one comes in a magnificent veal leather case, with a maroon velvet lining. The case holds the camera plus a dozen of plates.

A depth of field table is glued inside the box top.

It is certainly was very nice “sub-miniature” camera in its time (beginning of last century).
