Fotokor (or Photocor, or Photokor) was the name of folding-bed plate cameras made by the Soviet manufacturer GOMZ, starting in the 1930s. This camera was a typical amateur folding bed camera for 9x12 plates, maybe an imitation of Western European cameras made by such makers as Zeiss-Ikon, but just of moderate quality. Nevertheless it became the first million-seller of Soviet camera production. Estimated 1.1 million were made from 1930 to 1941. The Fotokor No. 1 had a f4.5/135mm lens and a 3-speed (1/25, 1/50, 1/100 plus B and T) shutter. Its bellows was extendable to double length. It had a brilliant finder and a big sports finder. Lens and shutter were also GOMZ products.
