What a wonderful and unique camera of the 1950s! The name indicates the cooperation between Carena (Liechtenstein) and Gevaert (Belgium). But what a surprise, inside the film compartment you read: "Made in France"! Further investigations will inform you that this camera was conceived by Jacques Broïdo (Pathé). Therefore it can be assumed that is was also built by Pathé for Carena.
