[[Ernemann]]'s '''Klapp-Cameras''' were made from 1901 to 1924. The cameras were strut folding plate cameras with [[focal plane shutter]], focusable lens and collapsible [[viewfinder|Newton finder]]. The camera model was available in different sizes, for [[Plate Sizes|plate sizes]] 6.5&times;9cm, 9&times;12cm, 4&times;5in, 8&times;10.5cm and 10&times;15cm.
 
 
Miniature variants were the '''Miniatur-Klapp''' cameras for the 4.5&times;6cm plate format. In 1924 a rigid-body variant of the Miniatur-Klapp was launched, the [[Ermanox]].

Ernemann Miniatur-Klapp 4.5x6

The Ernemann's Miniatur-Klapp 4.5x6 was in production from 1920 to 1925. This is a miniature version of the Klapp camera, a self-casing camera with split cover Newton finder and simplified focal plane shutter design, more like the Ermanox. In this version the shutter speed only goes up to 1/1000 sec. The lens board has horizontal shift.

Very advanced for its time, the miniature camera was small enough (4 x 7.5 x 10 cm) and light enough (0.68 kg) to compete with ordinary Vest-Pocket cameras.

The camera was produced with seven types of lenses:

  1. Ernemann Ernotar 1:4.5 75mm
  2. Ernemann Ernon 1:3.5 75mm
  3. Ernemann Ernostar 1:2.7 75mm
  4. Voigtländer Heliar 1:4.5 75mm
  5. Voigtländer Heliar 1:3.5 75mm
  6. Zeiss Tessar 1:4.5 75mm
  7. Zeiss Tessar 1:3.5 75mm

Note: There is earlier version of the Ernemann Miniature-Klapp (1913-1920) with a more complicated focal-plane shutter (5 knobs/levers on side) and top speed of 1/2500 sec.
