Details

To achieve the desired distance between lens and film, we already knew the bellows (various folding cameras) and the retractable and extendable metal tube such as e.g. with the Leicas, the Agfa Isola, etc. With this Photax it is a Bakelite tube with screw thread that rotates into the camera body when the camera is not in use. If that is a piece of art in itself, the whole is completed by the lens cap with bayonet fitting and recess for the shutter release.
