Chronology of cameras Photorex
The Rex Reflex cameras were designed and produced by André Grange, who was a portrait photographer in Saint-Étienne. During the war, SEMM entrusted him with the distribution of its Reyna-Cross production.
He also served as a distributor for other Parisian brands. It was he who connected the former employees of Saprolip, who were part of SEMM's team, with Mr. Carroué from Nice, which eventually led to the founding of the company ATOMS, of which Mr. Grange was the exclusive representative at the very beginning.
As relations deteriorated between ATOMS and Mr. Grange, he decided to launch the production of a competing 6 x 6 camera.
Rex cameras are often equipped with imported Prontor shutters, which was unusual for that time when import restrictions were very strict.

Ce Rex Reflex NB2 bis est un exemplaire de transition. La platine est fixée par le verrou rapide, mais sécurisée par deux des quatre vis habituelles ; de plus, il n’y a pas de couplage entre le déclencheur et l’armement.
A la visée, il y a l'Anastigmat 3,5/100 mm Som Berthiot Paris N° A12328 et à la prise de vue, le Télé 5,5/150 mm Som Berthiot Paris N° A12855.
Difficile de dire si cet appareil a été vendu avec la platine télé-objectif ou si le hasard a voulu qu'au moment de son abandon, ce soit cette platine qui était en place.
