Chronology of cameras Lumiere
Traduction de Manuel M
The serial number engraved under the crutch starting with a P, this camera was manufactured in 1946. Sleeving is synthetic what is probably due to the shortages of this period according to war.
The shutter is of “the always cocked” type and has 5 speeds. There are a shutter release on the body and a socket for a cable release.
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.
