The Piccolette is a strut-folding camera for eight 4×6.5 cm exposures on 127 film. It was made from 1919 by Contessa-Nettel in Stuttgart, and continued by Zeiss-Ikon after the merger in 1926 in which Contessa-Nettel joined to form Zeiss Ikon. It was available with a simple meniscus lens and a simple shutter. Slightly better might have been the one with Piccar 1:11 lens and Piccar shutter. A better configuration yet was that with a Novar or Nettar Anastigmat 1:6.3/7.5cm lens and Derval shutter with speeds up to 1/100 sec. A version with faster Tessar lens, Compur shutter, turnable brilliant finder and sports finder was made from 1927 to 1930, the Piccolette Luxus. The Piccolette is more or less a copy of the Vest Pocket Kodak, and the camera was copied by Rokuo-sha as the Pearlette.
