The Fenix-II was a rangefinder camera made by WZFO. In 1950 the development of its predecessor Fenix began in the Centralne Laboratorium Optyczne. It had its viewfinder ocular placed in the upper camera back, in the middle between the positions of the two equal-sized rangefinder windows in the opposite camera frontside.
