No. 3 Zenith (1899)

The No. 3 Zenith is a quarter-plate version of the Eureka cameras, made for the UK market where the Eureka name was already in use. It takes photos of 3.25 x 5.25 inch (8,3 x 10,8 cm) on glass plates in double holders or on film in a special roll holder. According to literature there also were made models in 9 x 12 cm size.
The settings of the No. 3 Zenith are as simple as those of the No. 4 Eureka: a key on the side to set the distance, a one speed shutter, a time exposure setting and three diaphragms on a sliding strip.
Only 2000 (plus 1000 in the 9x12 cm size) were made during 1899-1900 and today it is not often seen.
Please see the No. 2 Eureka for further explanation why these cameras were put on the market.
