Chronology of cameras Lumiere

The LUMIREX "The complete automatic camera for films" hits the market in 1934. It is called the "Sans Rival"(means "unrivaled" in French).
Between 1938 and 1940, it will also be distributed under the name of Sportex by Photo-Plait.

The technical features:

Lumière lens: Anastigmat Fidora 1: 6.3
Shutter: 25/50/100 / B (bulb) / T (long exposure)
Apertures : iris diaphragm 6.3 / 8/12/24 listed on top of the lens block
Distances: M 2/3/5/8 / Infinity listed on the rim of the lens
Trigger on the lens block
Viewfinder: frames + optical reversible

This version has metal rods and diagonal struts.

By analyzing Photo-Plait catalogs, we can deduce this approximative classification. It doesn't take into account the decoration of cameras shown in illustration, because the illustrations are not reliable enough.
Please note, it may be a difference of one year between the year of launch of a given camera and its publication on the annual catalogs.
