When the Goldhammer Goldeck 16 creased production the surplus ENNA lens where purchased in 1979 by inventor Franz Brinkert. In his workshop he designed a unique range of cameras machined out of blocks of aluminium.

Film is loaded and unloaded in a dark room or changing bag. Ordinary film is cut down into a disc and held in place by friction. A dial on the back rotates the film ready for the next shot.

There are four basic designs, but a number of variations built into brooches and pendants (several are shown in McKeown's Price Guide 12th Edition. p.159). The two Efbe  and FB (for Franz Brinkert), the DKB (for Duisburger Kamera Brinkert) and the pocket watch like camera using the Singlo-2 shutter.

The Efbe takes six pictures 10x12mm on a film disk of 46mm in diameter. The DKB, in chrome or black, takes the same 46mm diameter film but for 6 pictures 12mm in diameter. The FB is a rounded camera with FB on the back. It produces 5 pictures 9x11 mm and the Singlo-2 makes six 7.5mm diameter pictures on a film disc 11mm radius.
