+ | '''Zeh''' was a German camera maker during the 1920s and 1930s, based in Dresden. Their full name was either Zeh-Camera-Fabrik or Paul Zeh Kamerawerk depending on the source. The company closed its doors in 1948. In the 1920s Zeh made folding plate cameras. McKeown<ref>{{McKeown12}} p1033-5.</ref> lists several plate models, and describes them as ''run of the mill single- and double-extension cameras typical of the time with no remarkable features''. The Astro and Luxus cameras are very well-equipped, however. Some of the plate camera names were used again for roll-film cameras. The plate cameras are hard to identify because the model name is not on the camera; they only have the 'ZeCa' logo on the bed. As with most folding plate cameras, a wide range of lenses and shutters was available. | ||

Among others, they made the very original [[Zeca-Flex]] 6×6 cm [[folding]] [[TLR]], and the [[Goldi]] 3×4 cm and 4x6.5 cm folding cameras for 127 film. Some cameras made by Zeh have been sold by other companies, including Rodenstock, Henning and Neithold, under their own names. | ||

The company closed its doors in 1948. In the 1920s Zeh made folding plate cameras. McKeown[1] lists several plate models, and describes them as run of the mill single- and double-extension cameras typical of the time with no remarkable features.

The plate cameras are hard to identify because the model name is not on the camera; they only have the 'ZeCa' logo on the bed. As with most folding plate cameras, a wide range of lenses and shutters was available.
In the 30s, Zeh added cameras for roll film. Among others, they made the very original Zeca-Flex 6×6 cm folding TLR, and the Goldi 3×4 cm and 4x6.5 cm folding cameras for 127 film. Some cameras made by Zeh have been sold by other companies, including Rodenstock, Henning and Neithold, under their own names.
