This article refers to a camera-maker in Munich, unrelated to the much better-known KW (Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch)
Kamera Werkstätten is taken to be the maker of a single camera in about 1950 (contemporary advertising gives this name).[1] It is a simple camera for 10x15 mm pictures. It has an unidentified, uncoated lens, and an 'I' and 'B' shutter. The film is advanced with a winding knob on the left of the top housing, with frame numbers engraved on the knob in an irregular sequence to give a crude frame-counter. It has a reverse-Galilean viewfinder. McKeown states that the camera was available with black, red or blue leatherette; a red example was sold at Westlicht.[2]
