Chronology of cameras Fex Indo

Traduction de Eliott GERWILL

Version 5 "Fex, la photo toute simple". *

This version is the first Elite model to be dual-format, as attested by the two covers hiding little windows giving the views that are left. We can note that these covers are rectangular and will be square later.
The body is derived from the first version on which is riveted an accessories hot-shoe. It will be moulded in from the next version.

There is no little round bits on the side of the lens unit in order to make the handling easier. As it is a dual-format camera, there are two folding pieces in the inside that we move to go from the 6x9cm format to the 6x6cm format. During this handling, we have to remember masking the view-reminder window at the back that would be useless.

(*: "Fex, la photo toute simple" could be translated by "Fex, the very simple photograph".)
