The Minimum-Palmos is a strut folding viewfinder camera with a fast focal plane shutter. It was made by Zeiss-Palmos circa since 1904 and later by Ica for the plate/sheet formats 4.5×6cm, 6.5×9cm, 6×9cm, 3¼×4¼inch, 9×12cm, 4×5inch and 13×18cm, 9×18cm (panorama), and for the stereo formats 9×12 and 9×18. Zeiss f/4.5 or f/6.3 Tessars, with helical focusing, are the usual lens; the notes at Pacific Rim show a 4.5x6cm example with an f/2.7 lens.[1] The cameras have a Newton type viewfinder. The shutter allows speeds from 1/15 to 1/1000 sec.
