Goerz Pocket Tenax

Goerz Pocket Tenax

The camera belongs to a friend. It is a Goerz Pocket Tenax folding plate camera manufactured by C. P. Goerz of Berlin about 100 years ago. The lens an F6.8 Syntor with 5 inch focal length. The compound shutter and aperture control works and the bellows appears light tight. The camera needs only a trip to a good shop for a careful cleaning and lubrication to be fully functional.

The camera kit includes a 7x5x3 inch wooden carrying case and numbered 3.25 x 4.25 inch glass film plate holders.

Camerapedia has this to say about C.P. Goerz
C. P. Goerz was founded in 1886 by Carl Paul Goerz (1854-1923), a salesman who once had been in apprenticeship at Emil Busch in Rathenow and later was partner of Eugen Krauss in Paris. Originally Goerz sold mathematical tools for schools, since 1887 also cameras. By taking over F. A. Hintze's workshop in 1888 his company became a camera maker itself, named Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz since 1890. It was based in Berlin.

I have posted a few other pictures of this camera to a set called C P Goerz Camera Check them out.

Should anybody have any more information about this camera, please leave a comment.

  2. Hi. I have one of these. I have a viewer attachment and the magazine type attachment like your one on the right of your picture. I'm a novice collector and not sure how this works when attached. There is a slide for the plate but do not understand what the rest of the mechanism is used for. Do you have this information?

  4. My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Three days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com .

At first everything felt dreamy and unbelievable, Their consultations and solution was a little bit easy and strange and I was scared a little cos I had read and heard lots of stories of fake spell casters, scams and i never really believed in magic. I played along with a little hope and faith and I was sent some few stuffs after everything and it worked like a miracle, everything went to a whole new direction, it was and is amazing. I guess it was all good faith that made me read That particular post that faithful day.I hope he could help other people too like he did to me.
