The Goldi is a folding camera taking 3×4cm pictures on 127 film, that was made by the German company Zeh from 1932 onwards. It has a folding bed and the lens and shutter assembly is mounted on a metal plate attached to the body by scissor struts. It also has a folding optical finder. It was available with:
- Zecanar f/2.9 5cm[1] in Prontor II shutter[2]
- Zecanar f/2.9 5cm in Compur-Rapid shutter.
- Schneider Radionar f/2.9 5cm in Compur-Rapid.
Zeh made the same camera as OEM product for 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.
