Olympus Stylus Zoom 105 Analogue compact camera

Vintage camera

Introduced in the 1920s by Kamera Werkstätten (KW) in Dresden, the Etui Patent 9x12 is celebrated as one of the slimmest large-format sheet cameras ever produced. Designed by Paul Guthe and Benno Thorsch, its revolutionary design used a compact, double-extension folding plate that reduced the camera’s thickness to the size of a small book when closed. This particular model marries the Weimar-era micro-engineering with a high-quality, symmetric optical formula, Doppel-Anastigmat, making it a highly valuable relic for collectors of early European folding camera platforms.
