Ernemann Film K (6x6)

The Ernemann Film K (6x6) was a medium format camera produced by the German manufacturer Ernemann between 1916 and 1926. Utilizing the emerging 120 roll film format, it delivered 6x6 cm exposures, a popular square format for amateur photography at the time. Ernemann, known for producing generally well-made equipment before merging into Zeiss-Ikon in 1926, likely designed the Film K as a reliable, straightforward camera targeting the growing hobbyist market. Its exact type is unspecified, suggesting it was a typical roll film folder or simple box camera body, prioritizing functionality and ease of use over complex features. The Film K represents Ernemann's continued presence in the competitive amateur medium format sector during the post-WWI years before the company's consolidation.
