The '''Cocarette''' was a folding camera for rollfilm. It was one of the first new products of the German camera maker [[Contessa-Nettel]] after the merger that led to the foundation of that company in 1919. The Cocarette camera series was continued after Contessa-Nettel itself was merged into the [[Zeiss-Ikon]] group. Like many other folding camera types of the 1920s it was available in a variety of configurations. It was made for focusing by shifting the lens assembly forward or backward. Advanced versions were made which allowed vertical lens movements. The cameras had only a reflecting type finder. Contessa-Nettel tried to simplify film loading with a an insert that slides into the camera.

Advanced versions were made which allowed vertical lens movements. The cameras all had a [[brilliant finder|brilliant viewfinder]], some incorporating spirit levels; some models also feature a wire frame sportsfinder.

The Cocarette was a non-self erecting folding camera for rollfilm. It was one of the first new products of the German camera maker Contessa-Nettel after the merger that led to the foundation of that company in 1919. The Cocarette camera series was continued after Contessa-Nettel itself was merged into the Zeiss Ikon group. Like many other folding camera types of the 1920s it was available in a variety of configurations.[1] After the formation of Zeiss Ikon the Cocarette was given the model number '519', with variations 519/14, 519/2, 519/15, denoting the film format. There was also a postcard format 522/17. Focusing was by a lever on the folding bed shifting the lens assembly forward or backward. Advanced versions were made which allowed vertical lens movements. The cameras all had a brilliant viewfinder, some incorporating spirit levels; some models also feature a wire frame sportsfinder. The original Contessa-Nettel design tried to simplify film loading with an insert that slides into the camera. This loading mechanism also meant a circular door in the back of the camera was provided to allow access to the lens for cleaning or removal. Production must have ceased c.1930 as the Cocarette does not appear in Zeiss Ikon's 1931 catalogue [2]
