| EXA Version 4 |
*Année / year c.1957 Compact 35mm SLR with interchangeable waist level viewfinder (magnifying glass and sport viewfinder). It was the "lower priced companion" to the Exacta. Nevertheless, a very cute quality camera made to use almost all of the Exacta accessories. Ludwig Meritar f2.9/50mm lens with Exacta bayonet mount. Metal sector shutter. There is a lever(!) that allows to varying speed ranges, from B to 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/150. the two coaxial sockets are chrome (black on earlier models) and the flash contacts are F and X instead of M and X. There is also a pivoting protection on the shutter release button. The back is removable. Very attractive camera ! Thanks Claudio.

| DUPLEX SUPER 120 |
Année / year c.1956 SN 9582 Stereo camera for 24 pairs of 23x25 mm vertical exposures on 120 rollfilm (or 48 single pictures). While the most of stereoscopic cameras uses 35mm film horizontally, this camera uses 120 roll film vertically. The camera produces side by side stereo pairs. This was a new idea ! 3 elements focusing Iriar lenses f.35/35mm (apertures from f3.5 to f22 can be set by a dial on front). Sn17721 and 18159 Focus from 1m to infinity. The 30mm stereo base suggest that you have to choose the main subject at a closer distance when taking pictures. Shutter speeds 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200, P (B). Set by a dial on front. Flash sync M and X sockets left side on side. Lever to select single or stereo exposures on the right side (feature installed on later models). Found with original lens-caps and leather case marked Duplex Super 120.

Model 603/4 |
Année / year c.1925 SN K1362 This is a simple but nice rigid-bodied stereo camera for 6x13 cm plates (also accepts magazine backs holding 12 plates or packfilm). Takes pairs of 6x6cm. Body is made of leather-covered wood, lensboard is black painted metal. Novar Anastigmat f6.8/75mm lenses (587155-587156) in guillotine shutter M and Z. M = Momentaufnahme : the camera works like in "manual" position (cock the shutter and press the release button to take picture). Z = Zeitaufnahme : camera works like "T" first push opens, second push closes the shutter. A command on front of lensboard allows to set aperture f6.8-f12-f25. This model is equiped with both wire frame finder and reflex finder on body. Plate holder on back marked Ica 721/004.

POLYSKOP
Model 608 or
609 |
Année / year c1920/30 Serial J57668 Rigid bodied stereo camera for 45 x 107 mm pictures on plates. Focusing lenses Carl Zeiss Iena Tessar f4.5/65mm (538480 and 538487) . Focusing lever is located on bottom left. Aperture settings from f4.5 to f25. Dial set Compur shutters ; Speeds 1-2-5-10-25-50-100-250 , Z and M settings on front . Bubble level on top, Newton finder on side. There is a reflex viewer with folding hood on top and after inspection, it seems to be factory installed ; it's made of aluminium. The camera has been found fitted with a curious rollfilm back for 35mm film. I've never seen such an accessory before ; maybe some prototype ? Nevertheless it's definitively not a home-made work. The pictures are 24x36 mm. The lenses are not modified therefore I guess that the result would be a cropped stereo pair. There is also an amazing counter on top of that rollfilm back : it looks like a clock and is used to position the film during advance (turn about 1hour for the next pair). Anyway, If you know about similar 35mm stereo back, drop me an email !

| AVISO model 1 | Année / year 1910-14 This is a little metal magazine box camera for 4.5 x 6 cm pictures on plates (plates are automatically changed after each shot). Simple lens (identified as a "good landscape lens"in the 1913 catalogue) in Z, M shutter. This Aviso model 1 is quite similar in design to the Huttig Gnome and Aviso models. This camera is supplied with its external reflex finder ; that accessory finder attaches to pin on top or side of the camera. The camera shown here came to me with two plate-holders (originally supplied with 6). Ica Aviso and the Ica logo (the star) are embossed on back of the camera.

Année / year c.1969 Indo is for INDustrie Optique. The camera is a continuation of the cameras from Fex. This is a simple eye-level plastic camera for 4 x 4 cm on 127 rollfilm. Not really collectable but historically important : it's the first camera I owned when I was around 10-11 years old ! So probably the responsible of my today's collection... |
