Goerz Roll-Tenax (Rollfilm-Tenax) (6x9)
The Goerz Roll-Tenax (also known as the Rollfilm-Tenax) is a folding rollfilm camera in the 6x9 format, produced by the German optical maker C. P. Goerz in the early twentieth century. It belongs to the bellows-type folder family typical of that period and was sold as a portable medium-format option for general photography.
With only a single tracked UK auction hammer result on file — £115 from a 2004 sale — there is no current price band for the Roll-Tenax in today's market, and that figure reflects a wholesale saleroom outcome rather than a retail asking price. As of 2026, values for early Goerz folders of this type remain highly condition-sensitive, with bellows integrity, shutter function and lens clarity driving what an example is worth or sells for.
Sales History
