Zeiss Miroflex B 859/7

The Miroflex B 859/7 is a 35mm camera produced by Zeiss between 1927 and 1936. Representing an early period in the development of the 35mm format, it features a simple, robust construction typical of Zeiss engineering during that era. The camera utilizes a fixed lens and a focal plane shutter, offering a straightforward shooting experience aimed at amateurs and serious photographers alike during the interwar years. Its design reflects the practical priorities of the time: reliable mechanics and good optics within a compact form factor, catering to the growing interest in smaller, portable cameras before the widespread adoption of more complex rangefinder models.
