Description

Very popular among collectors, the Photax is a streamlined bakelite camera, made in France by M.I.O.M. It's often referred to as the Photax Blindé, the nickname a reference to its unique lens cap, which also encloses the shutter release. This version is distinguished by the addition of a cable release thread. The Photax takes 6x9cm exposures on 620 film, and was produced from c1938-60.

This particular example is in excellent condition, and included its original case. Not too shabby for $9!
