Just taken delivery of a Zeiss Tenax. It's a post-war Made in East Germany model. Fifty exposures (24mm x 24mm) on a 35mm roll (should this post be in the half-frame thread?) means that it is quite economical with film. Very good condition, and it now loaded with its first roll. I'm looking forward to the results.

As an aside, it is markedly smaller than my Vito II, although the Voigtlander remains the more pocketable due to its sleek design. I'm going to have to buy a new meter though. Both my Minolta Flash Meter and Sekonic Spotmeter are huge in comparison. Might look at the refurbished Weston meter being offered on the web.
 
I hope and expect you'll enjoy using this unusual camera; from what I've heard it's an excellent one. I've long thought it has an interesting mechanical design but an opportunity to get one never occurred. Have fun!
 
Enjoy the camera!

Over the last few years, I've become a big fan of 24x24. When I shoot my Tenax II I try to think like I did when I used a 6x6 TLR - but like you said, you can shoot away more spontaneously, and get lots of gorgeous SQUARES.
