Ensign Selfix 8-20 with original case!
The Ensign Selfix 8-20 was a folding camera sold by Ensign and was the first new design made by Ensign after WWII.
It was described in a contemporary catalogue as "probably the finest roll-film camera, designed successfully to beat all the German competition both in optical and mechanical performance". The camera body is die-cast metal covered in black morocco leather. A tripod bush is in the centre of the base plate.
The camera has a 105mm f/3.8 Ross Xpres lens and an Epsilon 8-speed shutter. There is a standard cable-release socket but the flash sync socket is not standard and the special Ensign connectors are virtually unobtainable nowadays.
The top of the camera body is finished in satin chrome. The Selfix 8-20 takes either eight 6x9cm or twelve 6x6cm exposures on 120 rollfilm. There are folding masks in the back of the camera to allow either format to be selected and the viewfinder has markings for both.
