Herlango was a maker and distributor of photographic goods in Vienna.[1] The company was formed by the merger of companies named Hrdliczka, Langer and Goldmann (hence Her, Lang, Go) in 1917. Goldmann was a camera-maker. Herlango made dry plates and printing papers, and the pictures at photohistory.au suggest the company also made some wooden cameras in about the 1920s. McKeown lists a number of wood- and metal-bodied folding plate cameras.[2] Herlango is better known, however, as an importer of roll-film cameras made by German companies (including Balda, Kochmann and Zeh) in the 1930s. Several different cameras (by different makers) were sold under the name Renox.
