This is a well made tropical model in the HEAG range of folding cameras from Ernemann. The front standard is very square giving an old fashioned look to the camera. Typical Ernemann features are incorporated such as the folding eye-level finder and 'cross' shaped focusing hood. The focusing hood is a deep leather rectangle giving very good light exclusion, it is pulled away from the focusing screen and held rigid by two flaps. The whole hood can be removed when using a dark cloth or for cleaning. Discontinued soon after the Zeiss merger of 1926.
