Chronology of cameras Goerz

Large and very simple folding camera, this Goerz Roll Tengor I (or Tengor Rollfilm I) dated from the early 1920s. It may be recognized her little bed stand which is very slender.

It is a 6 x 9 format using film type 120 ("Film B II", we are told inside the box). Note the two small internal spring loaded systems that firmly hold in place the film rolls (debtor and receiver). The risk is therefore reduced to see a roll escaping when the unhinged back is opened.

Its lens is a modest Hahn-Goerz Frontar 11 cm opening at 9.0.

The development is done by extending the bellows alongside a lateral ivory color synthetic material scale.

The shutter, without cocking, marked Goerz, provides the 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 as well as the B and T exposures.
