Krauss Paris 16mm Subminiature Camera

Hitherto unknown metal camera, designed like a panoramic camera which accepts 16mm film for still pictures. With black painted KRAUSS Trianar 2cm f/3.5 lens no.221879 with aperture settings 3,5, 5, 7, 10 and 14. Folding metal finder. Complex shutter and winding mechanisms on one side of the black crinkle paint finish body housing. One spool included. Shutter not operable at the moment. The finish and parts remind us of the Krauss Revolver and EKA cameras. The „oversized“ film chambers and rounded shape reminds us of a panoramic construction but it isn’t. Most likely made by KRAUSS in Paris around 1925-1930. Size: 8,7 x 5,3 x 2,7cm. It fits easily in one handpalm. Weight: 273g. A very well made subminiature camera.
