The Zeca-Sport is a folding camera for 2¼x3¼-inch pictures on 120 film, made by Zeh in Dresden in about 1937. McKeown describes it as a simple version of the Primus, the folder with which Zeh replaced the Bettax;[1] certainly the strut mechanism is like that of the Bettax. McKeown shows an example with an f/6.3 Zecanar Anastigmat and a Stelo shutter;[1] the example pictured here has an f/4.5 Zecanar Anastigmat and a Pronto shutter; like the Stelo, an everset shutter, with a fourth speed (1/125 second, only about one-third of a stop faster than 1/100). Better-specified examples have been seen in on-line auctions, for example with a Xenar and Compur shutter.[2] Like the Primus, the Sport has a body shutter release. It has a folding frame-finder, however (whereas the Primus (like the Bettax) has a folding reverse-Galilean viewfinder) in addition to a brilliant finder. It has a winding key, not a knob.
