This is an ENSIGN SELFIX 16-20 Type Ⅱ ROSS XPRES 75mm F3.5 medium format camera from Ensign of England, which is rarely seen in Japan. It is equipped with the "ROSS XPRES," a hidden gem of a lens known to some enthusiasts. In the 1950s, before the camera market shifted to Germany, England also manufactured cameras. The "ROSS XPRES 75mm F3.5" lens is a representative lens of the Ross company. It is derived from the Carl Zeiss Tessar, with a lens configuration of 5 elements in 3 groups, increasing the depth of the depiction. The SELFIX was released up to Type Ⅲ, but I think the camera form of the Type Ⅱ with the XPRES 75mm F3.5 is beautiful. Around this time, English cameras were rarely seen on the market. The camera mechanism is also unique; a spike appears on the shutter button if the shutter is not charged, and the viewfinder is like a bright frame, achieving an excellent hollow viewfinder that displays the actual image within a wide field of view. The soft form of the top plate is distinct from the angular design of sheet metal pressing. As a collector's camera, it has few scratches and I think it is a beautiful camera for its age. A hairline scratch has been made on the rear element during lens cleaning, so I will offer it at a discounted price. It is a shallow scratch, so it should not affect the shooting, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. A camera case and hood are included. (A Konica hood fits perfectly, so I attached it.) The camera has been maintained. The shutter is also in good condition, so you can take pictures by loading film. I think the resolution like the Tessar and the unique blurring depiction is a lens that is reminiscent of the Hassel Ektar 80mm f2.8. Thank you for your consideration.
