Zeiss 7 Divers modeles Analogue camera

Lot of 7 film cameras dating from 1920 to 1960, consisting of:

1. Zeiss Ikon folding bellows camera from the late 1920s or the 1930s. It originally operates with glass plates. The shutter is a Vario model made by AGC (Alfred Gauthier Calmbach), recognizable by the round AGC logo engraved to the right of the lens. The lens is an Anastigmat. Functional condition.

2. Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 folding film camera. It dates from the post-war period (1950s). It is a highly sought-after camera among vintage black-and-white photography enthusiasts for the exceptional quality of its German lenses. Functional condition.

3. Soviet rangefinder camera from the Zorki brand (Зоркий), made by KMZ near Moscow. This is a Zorki 1 (produced between the late 1940s and mid-1950s). This camera is a historically faithful almost exact copy of the famous German Leica II. It is equipped with its original retractable lens, an Industar-22 50mm f/3.5 (the name « ИНДУСТАР » is written in Cyrillic on the front of the lens). It also comes with its original metal lens cap and its brown leather case from the era stamped with the Zorki logo.

4 and 5. Two Baby Brownie cameras from the famous Kodak brand, accompanied by their original cardboard box and the second with its leather case. Historical design: conceived by the famous industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague, this miniature camera was produced between 1934 and 1941. Innovative material: its very graphic black Bakelite body (one of the earliest plastics of the industrial era). Functionality: it was an extremely simple camera intended for children and beginners. It features a small retractable viewfinder on top (here folded) and operated on 127-format film.

6. Gevabox 6×9 cube camera made by the Belgian brand Gevaert. Moreover, besides the camera and its crocodile-skin imitation leather case, the original manual: the official paper booklet with the circular Gevaert logo. The vintage exposure table: the small fold-out cardboard sheet that explained to the photographer how to adjust the camera according to the daylight.

7. French brand Photax camera, specifically the Photax III model (sometimes called the “Armored” due to its rugged look), manufactured in France in the late 1940s and early 1950s (by the company MIOM). Its black body is fully molded in Bakelite. The optics are equipped with a lens from the famous French brand Boyer Paris (Series VIII).
