It's an interesting curiosity but a square format for 35mm film doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me, except as an economy measure.

It was a Zeiss attempt to cash in on the success of the Robot cameras - hence the square format. But a rapid wind lever, even though very new back then, is no spring motor, so that did not take off... |

@PaulC
Hello your ebay link is a Tenax I which is a vey basic camera. I used to own one but sold it since I it was barely used. As far as I can remember price was aound 20EUR. The viewfinder is bad and it is a scale focus. It came with a Novonar or a Tessar lens.
The square format is quite fun and with the advance lever on the front you can soot fast series.
The Tenax II is a more advanced camera with interchangeable lenses. It is quite rare (never saw one) and also more expensive. |
