| Dr. Krügener's Delta magazine camera (1893) image by Uwe Kulick (Image rights) |
The Delta-camera is a wooden magazine camera with a simple plate changing mechanism inside, operated by pulling the brass knob below the lens. The magazine holds twelve 9×12cm plates. The camera was made from about 1893 by the Dr. Krügener company in Bockenheim, Frankfurt am Main.
The camera is seen in both a polished wood finish, as here, and with leather covering. The exact specification also varies.
