Baby Box Tengor by peterdegraaff

Baby Box Tengor

...made in 1933 by Zeiss Ikon and came with original receipt.

This camera was the instamatic or coolpix camera of its day. The match in front of the camera gives an indication of its tiny dimensions. Uses 127 size film, there is no focus, aperture setting, and the speed of the shutter is 1/35sec, with capacity to hold open for longer. A fun little camera. This one came from Slovakia and had been recently CLA'd.
Wow, with original receipt too!! It looks immaculate! Sure is compact! So, you move around until it looks in focus? What is CLA??

It brings back memories, my father was very much into Zeiss.

@ozziehoffy You frame subject through wires and click. CLA is tech talk, meaning cleaned, lubed and adjusted. Great to know if you are buying vintage cameras

Oooh, including that matchstick is a great idea, I wouldn't have thought that camera is so small! You have such an awesome collection. 8)

@swilde You should use it more often

How interesting! I'm not sure that I'd take very good pictures with this...I am spoiled by modern technology.
