These lenses both have front-element focusing. The Radionar on an example examined focuses down to 1 metre, and the focusing scale occupies a full turn of the lens. The Zecanar on another example, scaled in feet, is marked to 4 feet; the scale between infinity and 4 feet occupies only about a quarter turn of the lens. The front element is free to turn in the unscaled sector, and by extrapolation, must focus to between 1 and 2 feet. | These lenses both have front-element focusing.

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 themselves, as well as f/3.5 and f/4.5 Tessars and an Elmar. Commonly seen lenses include these:
- Zeh Zecanar f/2.9 5cm in Prontor II,[2] Compur (with speeds 1 - 1/300 second, plus 'B' and 'T') or Compur-Rapid shutter (with speeds to 1/500 second).
- Schneider Radionar f/2.9 5cm in Compur or Compur-Rapid shutter.
These lenses both have front-element focusing. The Radionar on an example examined focuses down to 1 metre, and the focusing scale occupies a full turn of the lens. The Zecanar on another example, scaled in feet, is marked to 4 feet; the scale between infinity and 4 feet occupies only about a quarter turn of the lens. The front element is free to turn in the unscaled sector, and by extrapolation, must focus to between 1 and 2 feet.

Zeh also made the Goldi for sale by several other companies, for example as the Ysella for Rodenstock. McKeown states that a 4x6.5 cm model of the camera was also made, also sold both by Zeh and other companies.[1]
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.
