Compact cameras from Hamburg

Arven M2

A camera that gets out of the way.

One lens, two dials, no menus you have to learn. The M2 is the small camera for the pictures you would otherwise miss.

The workshop

Made by a small team in Hamburg

We are eleven people: optical engineers, two designers and a repair bench that never closes. We build one camera at a time and keep it working for as long as you want to use it.

When something breaks, it comes back to the bench where it was made.

Visit the workshop or write to us; we lend demo cameras for a weekend.
