The Voigt Junior is a folding camera for 2¼" square images on 120 film. It has a molded plastic body with metal top and bottom plates. The film advance knob is on the top plate with a second extra knob to match. Lugs for carry straps are absent, but a single ring is provided on the completely removable back. The camera features a fixed focus 75mm f4.5 Meniscus lens in a simple Instant and Bulb shutter.
Like the higher-spec Voigt camera, the Junior seems to be based on the body molds for the Vokar B folder, from Vokar Corporation of Michigan; but it was sold by Camera Specialty Corporation of New York (owned by exiled Wirgin brother Max). The relationship between the two companies is unclear.
