What it is
{"overview":"The Goerz Manufoc Tenax is an early German folding plate camera from the Goerz line, sold under the Tenax name. At this level the camera sells for low double-digit figures, and condition, completeness of the lens and shutter, and intact bellows will swing the price materially in either direction.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that the shutter fires across all speeds, and confirm the lens elements are free of heavy haze, fungus or separation.
