The Sport (or Zeca-Sport) is a self-erecting folding rollfilm camera made in about 1937 by Paul Zeh in Dresden. It takes 2¼×3¼ inch exposures on 120 film. McKeown[1] describes it as a simplified version of the Primus ( the folder with which Zeh replaced the Bettax), which has a shutter release on the body; however, the example in the lower picture here has this facility. The Primus was sold with a wider choice of lenses and shutters. For the Sport, McKeown lists only the 10.5 cm f/6.3 Zecanar anastigmat, and the Stelo shutter, but again, both examples pictured here have an f/4.5 Zecanar, and the example in the lower picture has a Pronto shutter. Better-specified examples have been seen in on-line auctions, for example with a Xenar and Compur shutter.[2]
The camera has a folding frame viewfinder on the body, and a brilliant finder, which rotates for portrait or landscape orientation. Like most Zeh folders, it has a winding key rather than a knob.
