The '''Kolibri 523/18''' was made by [[Zeiss Ikon]] in Germany, c.1930-1935; it took sixteen 3x4cm exposures on [[127 film]].  The camera featured a collapsible lens tube and was arranged in a vertical format, with a flip-up viewfinder on the top. On the right-hand side was the [[film advance|winding knob]] and a tripod bush; there was another tripod bush at the bottom. The lens had small "feet" on either side, so the camera would stand horizontally, and a strut could be fixed below the lens to balance the camera vertically.  There were two [[red window]]s on the back, for the small image format.
