Carl Zeiss Jena Minimum Palmos

{"overview":"The Minimum Palmos is an early folding plate camera carrying the Carl Zeiss Jena name, built around the Palmos focal-plane shutter design from the early 20th century. In today's market the value of any given example sells for whatever condition, completeness and shutter function will support, so a working camera with original lens and bellows is worth materially more than a project body.","buying_guide":"Inspect the focal-plane shutter cloth for pinholes and tape repairs, check the bellows in raking light for splits at the corners, and confirm the lens elements are free of separation and heavy cleaning marks.
