the camera to a tripod..
After every exposure the fflm has to be advanced with the fflm win-
ding knob (1) until the next frbme number appears in the window (15).
FLASH PHOTOGRAPHS
can also be made with the BOX TENGOR thanks to its built-in flash
synchronization contact, which ftres the flash when the shutter is wide
open. For taking flash photographs, attadl the connecting cord of the
flash unit to the flash synchronization contact (14) of the BOX
TENGOR. Of course, the flash unit must have a standard plug. Flash
photographs with flash lamps can be made with the "M" setting.
Consequently, the BOX TENGOR can even be used for flash action
photographs from the hand. The most suitable flash lamps available
on the market are the Osram flashes F0, F1 and F2, the Philips
flashes Pf74, Pf25 and Pf56 as well as the Syntax flash. The camera
is synchronised only for flash lamps (Vacuflashes), not for electronic
flashes.fr The BOX TENGOR is a dependable camera even in rough use.
provided its efffciency is preserved by careful protection of the
camera from moisture, dust, and similar detrimental external in-
fluences. Careful handling will pay in so far as the BOX TENGOR
will remain a source of constant pleasure for its owner.

LOADING OF THE CAMERA
The BOX TENGOR is loaded with standard B II/8 roll ftlm, furnish-
ing 8 2rla" x3tla" pictures. For opening the BOX TENGOR, pull out
the locking knob (10) and remove the back of the camera. Insert the.
empty spool into the upper spool chamber with the prong of the
film winding key engaging with the slit of the spool. Then engage the
unexposed ftlm with the two lower spool pins, turn the spool until
the narrow end of the protective paper points upward and then sl.it the
gummed label. Pull the beginning of the protective paper civer the
two rollers to the
upper spool (take-up
spool), insert the be-
ginning of the pro-
tective paper into the
wide slot of the take-
up spool, tighten the

the camera with the locking knob (10). Then open the window (15)
and turn the film winding knob (1) until the number " 1" appears
in the window. Now, the ftrst frame of the ftlm can be exposed.
Then close the window (15).

spring (17) outward,'
simultaneously hold-
ing and removing the
spool. Then take out
the empty spool and
insert it into the upper
spool chamber, en-

distances closer than 25 ft, estimate or
measure the distance of the object be-

and portraits are usually made with the 7-2 m (40"-80") distance setting, IJ
pictures of groups of persons are made
with the 2-8 m (80"-25 ft) setting, and
landscape or architectural photographs

be chosen: 9, 71, or 15. The higher the
lens aperture ftgure the smaller is the
lens aperture. Every reduction of the lens aperture, however, requires
an extension of the exposure time. The best pictures are obtained with
the medium diaphragm setting "77" which, therefore, is preferably
used for all outdoor photographs. Under less favourable lighting con-View original page 12Page 13 · Read text

mark appears in the
window (4) of the
signal device. After
every exposure a
white spot appears in
the window (4) indi-
cating that the shut-

It can be unlocked
only by advancing

THE EXPOSURE
+ \When an exposure is to be made the locking knob (11) must ftrst be
I pushed back and the red dot must be in the signal window (4), indi-
cating that the ftlm has been ad-
vanced. The lever (6) is set on the
desired exposure time (action photo-
graph or time exposure). Then the
exposure can be made by pressing
down the shutter release lever (5).
tVith setting "M" the shutter opcns
for l/so sec and then closes automati-
f- cally. Vhen making time exposures
(lever t61 to be set on "T"), the
shutter opens when the release (5) is
pressed down and closes after the
pressure ceases. tVith the aid of a
I cable release equipped with a plnnger
catch the shutter can be kept open
Ir forpressinga longthe time,releasewithout(5). In constantlyfact, it is

highly recommendable to use a cable
release for every time exposure. The cable
release must be screwed into the thread (13).
The ZEISS IKON cable release, equipped
with plunger catch, permits extremely
long time exposures. For all action photo-
graphs and short time exposures the disk
' ((B" must ftrst be pressed in the direction
of "C" and then be slightly twisted until
it remains in this position close to "C".
For long exposgres, however, the disk "B" must be apart from "C".
Vhen the cable release plunger is pressed, the disk (68" catches the
knob " A" which, subsequently, can be released only by a slight
pressure on the disk "8". \trith the aid of this device unlimited time
exposures can be made without con-
stantly pressing the cable releaseknob.
Vhen taking action photographs it is
advisable not to breathe during the
exposure in order to avoid blurring
of the picture. Time exposures must , ,.'l
be made from a solid support, pre-
ferably from a tripod. A thread (16)
