Chronology of cameras Adox
Before the war, Adox and Wirgin shared the Wirgin factory in Wiesbaden. Some camera models were then manufactured in parallel for both brands, or successively for one and then the other. This was the case with the Wirgin Edinex and Adox Adrette.
The idea of establishing a complete genealogy is tempting, but its realization is hindered by confusing rules for model numbering. All pre-war models have the same general shape, with a thin body in the middle and swollen ends to accommodate the film spools. Loading is done from the bottom, in the manner of Leica cameras of that time. The metal parts of the camera sometimes have a pinkish color.
The shutter and lens are at the end of an extractable tube. Several combinations of lens and shutter exist. Most models have two finger rests that facilitate the pulling of this tube. The distance is adjusted by either turning the front part of the lens or turning the ring located at the base of the tube.
The viewfinder is rudimentary. Next to it is the base for attaching a rangefinder.
The first models exist only under the Wirgin brand, but from 1938 (c.), both brands offer the camera under the name Edinex at Wirgin and Adrette at Adox. After the war, production resumed, but briefly at Adox, and with far fewer models than at Wirgin.
The presented specimen is equipped with a Steinheil Cassar 3.5/5 cm lens and a Compur-Rapid shutter at 1/500th of a second. Focusing is done by rotating the ring at the base of the lens and shutter support tube. The buttons are heavily grooved.
