The '''Vest Pocket Tenax''' or '''Plate Tenax''' was a versatile miniature strut folding camera, made since 1909 by [[Goerz]] in Berlin, for small 4.5x6cm film plates. It had a [[Compound]] shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/250 sec. built into the front standard, a [[viewfinder|Newton finder]] with the optical element pullable out of the front standard, and a 75mm [[anastigmat|double anastigmat]] lens, focusable from 2 metres to infinity. The camera's lens equipment was one of Goerz's standard camera lens types, a [[Dagor]] 1:6.8 as normal lens, a 1:6.8 Syntor as budget equipment, or a fast 1:4.5 Celor as advanced optics. The "Tropical Vest Pocket Tenax" with Dagor was the luxury variant. | The '''Vest Pocket Tenax''' or '''Plate Tenax''' was a versatile miniature strut folding camera, made since 1909 by [[Goerz]] in Berlin, for small 4.5x6cm film plates.

The Vest Pocket Tenax or Plate Tenax was a versatile miniature strut folding camera, made since 1909 by Goerz in Berlin, for small 4.5x6cm film plates. It had a Compound shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/250 sec. built into the front standard, a Newton finder with the optical element pullable out of the front standard, and a 75mm double anastigmat lens, focusable from 2 metres to infinity. The camera's lens equipment was one of Goerz's standard camera lens types, a Dagor 1:6.8 as normal lens, a 1:6.8 Syntor as budget equipment, or a fast 1:4.5 Celor as advanced optics. The "Tropical Vest Pocket Tenax" with Dagor was the luxury variant.
The Coat Pocket Tenax models were for 6.5x9 cm plates, and the Stereo-Pocket-Tenax for 4.5x10.7 cm stereo plates.
