What it is
{"overview":"The Goerz Tenax is an early German camera produced by C.P. Goerz of Berlin. Clean, working examples with intact shutters and original cases tend to fetch the upper end, while incomplete or worn bodies are worth considerably less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for sticky or inaccurate speeds, check the bellows (where fitted) for light leaks, and look for corrosion on brass fittings and lens elements for haze or separation.

Questions
Is the Goerz Tenax still usable?
It can be, provided the shutter fires accurately and the bellows are light-tight, but the obsolete plate format means film use requires adapted holders or cut film.
