The Taxo was a continuation by Zeiss Ikon of a model introduced by Contessa-Nettel. It is a fairly simple but well build folding bed camera available in two sizes; 6,5 x 9 cm (122/3 & 126/3) and 9 x 12 cm (122/7 & 126/7). As usual with this type of camera it was available with different lenses and shutters.
