Precursor of the Metabox GOLDY, the Fotobox had a very short career. Its trapezoid body has not a good rigidness. Its edges are sharp, not very well adjusted and with a poor finish. The market sentence is immediate, customers are reluctant to buy the Fotobox and GOLDSTEIN stops soon the manufacturing of this camera.

The Fotobox uses a film 620 producing negatives of format 6x9 cm. The film advance is coupled with the rewind mechanism. Two shutter speeds are available: Instantaneous and Pause B. The camera is equipped with a large folding viewfinder. The lens is an aplanatique lens Stigmar Fluore. --Vieilalbum 11:14, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
