The Goldi is a folding camera taking 3×4cm pictures on 127 film, made by the German company Zeh from about 1930.[1] It has a folding bed with slotted rails on which the front standard slides out, held quite rigidly by scissor struts. The bed and struts are self-erecting, with the button to unfold them on the body. The camera has a folding optical finder. McKeown lists a very large range of lenses, including some branded by Zeh as well as f/3.5 and f/4.5 Tessars and an Elmar. Commonly seen lenses include these:
- Zecanar f/2.9 5cm[2] in Prontor II shutter[3]
- Zecanar f/2.9 5cm in Compur or Compur-Rapid shutter.
- Schneider Radionar f/2.9 5cm in Compur or Compur-Rapid.
Zeh also made the camera for sale by several other companies, for example as Ysella for Rodenstock.
There is a Japanese copy of the Goldi, called the Baby Rosen, made by the company Proud. The same company sold a modified version in 4×4 format, called the Rosen Four, that was also sold by Riken as the Adler Four.
McKeown states that a 4x6.5 cm model of the camera was also made, also sold both by Zeh and other companies.[1]
