Chronology of cameras Photo-Sport
Photo-Sport was a distributor of cameras, accessories, and photographic chemicals. It appears to have been active from 1898 until the beginning of World War II.
Under its own brand name and with specific model names, Photo-Sport resold cameras from various manufacturers. If you compare the number of Photo-Sport models listed in catalogs to the number of cameras found and attributed to this brand, it is possible that not all cameras were labeled as Photo-Sport. Over the years, the proportion of exclusive models in the catalogs significantly decreased. Towards the end, Photo-Sport was primarily a reseller.
Photo-Sport was initially located at 22 Rue Caumartin in Paris, very close to the Opera, then moved to 56 Rue Caumartin before World War I, and finally to 71 Rue Caumartin around 1930, gradually moving closer to Gare Saint-Lazare.
From the catalogs, it is known that the first director, and possibly the founder, was named Georges de Corbin.
L'illustration n'est pas très bonne, mais il semble que ce détective puisse être attribué à Murer et Duroni.
La mise au point par bonnettes intégrées à l'appareil augmente les possibilités sans complexifier l'appareil, permettant un prix peu élevé.
Rien dans le texte descriptif ne permet de savoir pourquoi cet appareil est qualifié de "mixte". N'étant ni bleu ni rose, on pouvait l'offrir à une fillette ou à un garçon...
