Chronology of cameras Zeiss Ikon
The Tengoflex is discordant in the Zeiss Ikon production. It looks like a twin-lens reflex, but does not have a reflex viewfinder. The distance is adjusted by moving an additional lens system which only offers two focusing stages: 1 to 3 m, and 3 m to infinity. There is no repercussion in the viewfinder.
The manufacturing is based on the reuse of the Box-Tengor principles. The dial has been moved back to leave room for inserting an image deflecting mirror.
It was made at the end of the war for export sales. Since Germany could only trade with its allies or with neutral countries, sales were small, and essentially limited to Sweden, a neutral country. The intensification of Carpet Bombing must have slowed down and then brought Zeiss Ikon production to a halt quite quickly.
