In 1954 '''Ross-Ensign''' became the name of '''Barnet Ensign Ross'''. The company was derived from a merger of camera maker [[Barnet Ensign]] with lens maker [[Ross]] in 1948. It made cameras and lenses until 1961. It abandoned Barnet Ensign's sophisticated ''Commando'' viewfinder camera and continued to make some successful simpler camera models like the [[Ensign Ful-Vue]] which was further developed to the pseudo-TLR-like ''Ful-Vue Super''. It also introduced new folding cameras like the ''Ranger'', the ''Snapper'' and the ''Trikon''. Of course the company had to make a TLR in that period. That was the ''Fulvueflex''. | In 1954 '''Ross-Ensign''' became the name of '''Barnet Ensign Ross'''.
