The Bob II was produced from 1903 to 1926. It is similar to Bob I, but with double extension. A great number of shutter/lens combinations was offered. The Bob II (also named Bob IIa in catalogs of 1912-1913) was produced in three sizes: 10x12.5; 8x10.5 (chrome) & 8x10.5 (black); 8.5x14. The camera was also sold by [[Stöckig]] as “Union XXVI” (1903-c1906)

The original Bob III, made from 1904, is for 9x12 cm plates, or quarter-plate exposures (3½x4½ inch or 8.3x10.8 cm) on roll-film. An Ernemann catalogue states that the construction is mostly of aluminium, with American leather covering, leather bellows, and nickel fittings.<ref name=Cat>Catalogue [http://www.cineressources.net/consultationPdf/web/o000/256.pdf ''Ernemann Cameras sind die Besten; Anleitung; Liste No. 91''], p18. The cataloge is undated, but describes the Bob III (1904-10) as new; at [http://www.cineressources.net/recherche_t.php Ciné-Ressources].</ref> The camera has [[triple-extension]] bellows, allowing the use of the rear group of any of the symmetrical lenses on its own (see the article on [[Combinable lens|separable lenses]]), and has front rise and shift. It has a brilliant finder, which rotates for horizontal or vertical use of the camera.

Another folding camera named Bob III was made in the 1920s, in the last years before Ernemann became part of Zeiss Ikon. This is for 6x9 cm exposures on roll-film.

The Bob series are folding cameras for various sizes of both plates and rollfilm, made by Ernemann of Dresden from about 1902 until the company took part in the merger to create Zeiss Ikon in 1926.[1] There is also a cylindrical cardboard camera for five 4.5x6cm plates simply named 'Bob', from about 1900-03: McKeown shows an example.

There were numerous folding models:

Model  Production   Rollfilm Formats    Plate Formats   
Bob 00 1914-1925 6x9; 8.5x10 6.5x9; 9x12
Bob 0 1911-1926 8x10.5; 8.5x14 9x12; 9x14
Bob I 1903-26[1] 4x6.5; 6.5x9; 8x10.5; 8.5x14  
Bob II 1903-1926[1] 8x10.5 [2]; 8.5x14; 10x12.5 9x12; 9x14; 9x12
Bob IIa 8x10.5; 8.5x14 9x12; 9x14
Bob III 1904-10
1925-6 		3½x4½ inch

Bob III

The original Bob III, made from 1904, is for 9x12 cm plates, or quarter-plate exposures (3½x4½ inch or 8.3x10.8 cm) on roll-film. An Ernemann catalogue states that the construction is mostly of aluminium, with American leather covering, leather bellows, and nickel fittings.[6] The camera has triple-extension bellows, allowing the use of the rear group of any of the symmetrical lenses on its own (see the article on separable lenses), and has front rise and shift. It has a brilliant finder, which rotates for horizontal or vertical use of the camera. Another folding camera named Bob III was made in the 1920s, in the last years before Ernemann became part of Zeiss Ikon. This is for 6x9 cm exposures on roll-film.
