Goerz Ango

Goerz-Anschütz Ango c.1906

Goerz-Anschütz Ango is a series of strut folding plate film medium format to large format camera manufactured by Goerz, and produced between c.1896-1922.[1] Camera introduced in 1896 as a Anschütz camera.

At early times, Goerz's specialty were cameras with the fast rouleau shutter that the company had licensed exclusively from its inventor Ottomar Anschütz from Lissa in Posen (at that time a province of Germany).

A long running series of such cameras was named after 1905 as Ango, an abbreviation for ANschütz and GOerz with some improvements.

Typical elements of these cameras were a set of controls at one side of the camera body since early focal plane shutters needed more than one control element to set the speed. A combination of slit width setting and rouleau speed setting gave the shutter speed. Until 1905 the slit width had to be set inside the camera. On the opposite side of the camera was its grip.

A few variations for presentation models were made with red leather covering, crocodile covering and red bellows. A unique feature over other stereo cameras is that the separation of the lenses is variable so that the relief in the picture can be controlled.

Some features

  • Lenses: mainly Dagor, Dogmar, Syntor, and Celor, crosshairs on the front lens
  • Formats: more common 9x12, 10x15, 13x18cm
  • Shutter: Ottomar Anschütz rouleau shutter as a focal plane shutter
  • Viewfinder: collapsible optical Newton finder
  • Characteristic type of struts
