The Ensign 220 Auto-Range was introduced in 1937 by Ensign Ltd. (Houghtons Ltd.) in London (https://www.120folder.com/ensign_autorange_220.htm). Production was short-lived, ceasing around 1940, partly due to the destruction of the factory during the London Blitz (https://www.petrakla.com/collections/newest-products/products/1939-ensign-220-6x6-6x4-5-medium-format-coupled-rangefinder-camera-clad-freshly-serviced). It was one of the first cameras to combine the viewfinder and rangefinder into a single window, a feature that simplified focusing and composition (https://www.petrakla.com/collections/newest-products/products/1939-ensign-220-6x6-6x4-5-medium-format-coupled-rangefinder-camera-clad-freshly-serviced).

The camera is a self-erecting folding model for 120 roll film. It offers two formats: 6x6cm and 4.5x6cm, which are selected by folding internal masks at the sides (https://cameracollector.net/ensign-auto-range-220/). The body is metal, wrapped in real leather, and the camera has a sturdy, solid feel (https://www.120folder.com/ensign_autorange_220.htm) (https://www.petrakla.com/collections/newest-products/products/1939-ensign-220-6x6-6x4-5-medium-format-coupled-rangefinder-camera-clad-freshly-serviced). It weighs approximately 764 grams
