The Reflex-Jagd-Ango (Reflex Hunting Ango) is an SLR camera made by Goerz in about 1909.[1] and using Ottomar Anschütz' focal-plane shutter, with speeds up too 1/1000 second (the name Ango is a contraction of Anschütz and Goerz). It is a special camera for wildlife and similar photography. It has a long-focus lens (not technically a telephoto) mounted on a long rigid body.
McKeown lists two models. The first is for plate sizes up to 13x18 cm, and has a 600 mm f/7 Special Lynkeioskop lens on a square lens-tube. This lens can be interchanged with another for close-up use. The second model is for 9x12 cm plates, and has a 480 mm lens on a tapered round tube.[2]
