Tessina 01

            The Tessina is probably the smallest half-frame 35mm camera, being a diminutive 2 1/2 x 2 x 1 inch (69 x 56 x 27mm) and weighing only 5 oz (166g). It uses 16.5" (41cm) lengths of standard 35mm film and so film options are extensive. It produces a frame size of 14x21 mm, larger than most other subminiature formats but in a camera smaller than most 16mm cameras.

It is a twin-lens reflex with pop-up viewfinder and a clock-work motor drive designed for waist-level inconspicuous photography. It was designed and patented by Dr. Rudolph Steineck who was also the designer and patentee of the ABC wristwatch camera, several other miniature cameras, accessories and devices in the photographic and other fields.

The almost 400 parts used in making the Tessina are manufactured to the same standards as for Swiss watches. Indeed, ruby jewels are used to reduce friction and wear, just as in the finest watches. The Tessina is an elegant camera, built with the precision of a fine watch.
