I had a Tessina kit for about a year, a decade or so back. It was quite a
nice camera and took rather decent pictures, albeit in that odd frame size.
I even met Karl Heitz when I owned it; he had dropped in to visit at a
local camera store and I happened to walk in and get introduced to the gent.
I stupidly took the Tessina to one of those Washington DC camera shows and
had it on my table. A buyer offered me more than twice what I'd paid for
it, so I cheerfully sold it. EBay has brought Tessina prices way down, so
I may get another one of these days.
