Overview

The Ernemann Heag XVI was produced from 1909 to c.1918. This camera was created to combine the advantages of Heag XII and Bob II cameras. It has an interchangeable magazine back that can take roll-film or plates. This is one of the few cameras that have their film and plate to lie in the same focusing position.
