About

Tessina cameras are a range of subminiature cameras made in Switzerland by Sigrist, and distributed by Concava S. A, from c.1960 for around four decades[1]. It has three unusual features for a subminiature camera: it is a true twin-lens reflex; it uses 35mm film, in special cassettes, running across the bottom of the camera - at a right-angle to the lens axis; and it has spring motor film advance. There are three very similar models, the Tessina 35, the Tessina Automatic 35 and the Tessina L.
