About

The Nacht Kamera is more-or-less a copy of Ernemann's Ermanox, made by Ernst Lorenz of Berlin in about 1926; a hand-held camera with a large-aperture lens of portrait length, and a focal plane shutter, designed to allow photography in poor light; both cameras' names refer to night-time. It is based on Lorenz's Clarissa, but that camera is strut-folding, with bellows.
