Chronology of cameras Carena 

The Carena brand is registered in the early 1950s by Coop, a Swiss distribution group resulting from the merger of several companies.
It concerns photographic equipment. It is renewed several times by Coop, then by Interdiscount, a subsidiary of Coop specializing in the sale of electronic and photographic equipment.

Interdiscount
was created in 1970 and relies on a dense network of branches. In 1973, there were 42 branches throughout Switzerland. Abroad, Interdiscount relies on existing networks. In Germany, in the early 1980s, Interdiscount acquired shares in the struggling company Photo Porst.

Some specimens of the Carena Top 35F are labeled "Made in Macao," while others are labeled "Made in China," which can be explained by a production period straddling 1999, the year of Macao's retrocession from Portugal to China. The patent number appearing on the back leads to Haking. It concerns the double exposure prevention system. It was filed in 1984 and published in 1986.
