| − | The Doris Six is a horizontal folder, with folding struts inspired from the [[Ikonta]]. There is a low top housing covering all the top plate, with a hump offset to the right, containing the viewfinder. This arrangement looks like a reversed [[Carl Six]]. There is an accessory shoe on the left of the finder and an advance knob on the left end. The body release is on the right of the finder and the right end is occupied by some decorative knob, maybe a film reminder. It is unknown if the camera is single or dual format, allowing 4.5×6 exposures.
