The Ensign Selfix 320 is a self-erecting vertical medium format folding camera made by Ensign.

Description

The Selfix 320 takes eight 6x9cm on size 120 (not 620) film. A thin metal mask fits into the back of the camera for sixteen 6x4.5cm exposures. The Selfix 320 has an all-metal body with hinged back. The metal parts are either black enamelled or chromium plated. The front cell of the lens rotates for focusing. Some models of the Selfix 320 have a body release.

The viewfinders are an eye-level frame finder with folding mask for the smaller picture size, and a waist-level reflecting finder on the front. The Selfix 320 has a baseboard leg for setting up on a level surface, as well as two tripod bushes.

The Selfix 320 is fitted with an Ensign or Vario 3-speed shutter with B and T setting and cable release socket. The lens is a 10.5cm Ensar Anastigmat, available in two different combinations depending on their maximum aperture (f/6.3 or f/4.5).

Specifications

The camera weights around 450 grams (about 16 oz.) and dimensions are 16.5x8.2x3.8cm (when closed).
