Emil Wünsche's Nymphe is a strut folding pocket camera for rollfilm. It is wooden bodied, with black leather covering and red bellows. It was available for the frame formats 6x8.5cm (model I), 9x12cm (model II) and 9x9cm (model III).[1] There was also a stereo model for 9x18cm (model VI). The lenses are Rapid Aplanat or Goerz double-anastigmats, without focusing. The camera has a simple 'I' and 'B' shutter, and a folding Newton finder on the lens and shutter unit.
