Introduction

The Wiko Standard was made by Photo-Werstätte Konrad Köhnlein, Nürnberg, Germany in 1934. It is a Leica look alike made of bakelite having a 13x17mm negative on special 16mm roll film; possibly the same as used in the Mini Fex. A small optical viewfinder is moulded into the top. Few cameras where made and bakelite is fragile making these cameras rare, and expensive, today.

There are four versions of the Wiko Standard with Laack Pololyt f4.5/3cm, f3.5/3.5cm, f3.5/2.5cm or f2.8/2.5cm lenses,. focal plane shutter B, 1/20-1/200, but noted for being inaccurate. Fixed lens or interchangeable.

The Wiko Rekord has a f11 fixed focus lens.

The normal lens is not interchangeable and the body is moulded to the lens.
