Some featured collapsible lens tubes; later, more sophisticated models had a rigid lens and (on ''electromatic'' models) an exposure meter. One simpler variant (above right photo) for 120 film has a square pull-out [[bakelite]] lens tube with a big lens board that reminds one of [[box camera]]s since it has a selector for three different aperture masks (f7.7, f11 and f22). Another selector on the lens board allows choice between shutter speeds 1/100 sec, 1/30 sec and B. The shutter release for the simple [[everset]] shutter is hidden behind the lens board. The lens or its front element is turnable for focusing from 1 metre to infinity. Other elements are the big film advance and film-roll release knobs on top and the optical viewfinder of reverse Galilean type in the top. Other examples have been observed with a faster, f2.9 75mm Praxanar lens in a [[Pronto]] shutter. <br /> ==Links== * [http://www.sample-image.com/braun-paxina-29/ Braun Paxina 29 - Sample Images] at http://www.sample-image.com/ * [http://blog.bkspicture.com/review_Braun_Paxina_29-Braun-Praxae_75mm_f2.9.html <u>Braun Paxina 29</u>] Review at [http://blog.bkspicture.com/ <u>http://blog.bkspicture.com/</u>] * [http://internoinbakelite.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/braun-silk-ep-ehm-braun-paxina/ Braun Paxina] on [http://internoinbakelite.wordpress.com/ Interno in bakelite] * [http://youtu.be/HuuRnpdsIrs <u>Braun Paxina 29 sample pictures</u>] * [http://fotografika.andrysstienstra.nl/kamera.php?ID=45&t=e Photo of later 127 model] on Andrys Stienstra's collection site. *[http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/page_standard.php?id_appareil=10467 Braun Paxina I], [http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/page_standard.php?id_appareil=1396 Braun Paxina II] on [http://www.collection-appareils.fr/general/html/francais.php www.collection-appareils.fr] by Sylvain Halgand [[Category:German 6x6 viewfinder]] [[Category:P|Paxina]] [[Category:B]] [[Category:Braun|Paxina]] [[Category:120 film]] [[Category:German 6x6 viewfinder]] [[Category:P|Paxina]] [[Category:B]] [[Category:Braun|Paxina]] [[Category:120 film]]
