ENSIGN Selfix 420 with Ensar Anastigmat 4,5/105mm – Epsilon shutter – Medium Format Analogue camera

Collector’s showcase – a classic British medium-format folder
The Ensign Selfix 420 is a beautifully engineered post-war British folding camera made to bring medium-format photography into everyday life. It combines a compact folding body with a rigid self-erecting front standard and classic bellows design—exactly the kind of piece collectors love to display open on a shelf or in a vintage camera cabinet.

This camera represents the optimistic post-war period—a time when families returned to travel and everyday documentation, and a solid, portable 120 folder like this became a trusted companion for seaside holidays, city streets, and family portraits. The Selfix 420 is a wonderful “mechanical sculpture”: open it, and you immediately see the purposeful geometry of British engineering.
