This article is a stub. You can help Camera-wiki.org by expanding it.
The Scheren-Camera ('scissor-camera') is a camera made by Voigtländer in about 1903, for 9x12 cm plates. It has a very long bellows extension, supported by scissor-struts.[1] The bellows extends in front of and behind a central body, which carries the focusing control, a top-mounted [[Viewfinder#Newton finder|Newton-type viewfinder] and bubble level. The rear body, carrying the focusing screen or plate-holder, may incorporate a focal-plane shutter; this was offered at extra cost in Voigtländer's catalogue;[1] otherwise the camera was available with a shuttered lens.
