Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor Analoge camera

On offer is an iconic Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor (model 54/2), a high-quality box camera manufactured in Germany between the late 1920s and the 1930s. Unlike many basic box cameras of its era, the Box-Tengor was known for its superior build quality and advanced features, such as multiple aperture settings and focus zones.

This camera is equipped with a Goerz Frontar lens, which was a significant step up from the simple meniscus lenses found in cheaper competitors. It produces 6x9 cm images on standard 120 roll film, a format beloved by vintage enthusiasts for its large, detailed negatives.
