Chronology of cameras Adox
After the Sport and the Golf in the early 1960s, here is a new series of 35 mm cameras whose name evokes dynamism, by associating a certain idea of luxury. But despite their name, some Polos are simple cameras, without much technicality, and even less luxury.
The series includes the following models (source Mc Keown):

1 The Radionar L 2.8/45mm lens has a specificity, denoted by the L. Its lenses are coated by adding lanthanum oxide La2O3 to increase the refractive index. Lanthanum is one of the rare earth metals.
2 With built-in lightmeter.
__________
If the brand is clearly visible on the logo on the front, you need to open the back to read the model name written on a simple label attached inside.
Exposure control is automatic. Inside the viewfinder, there are three colored lights: red, yellow, and green. The green light indicates automatic exposure. In this case, you just need to adjust the focus distance by selecting one of the pictograms: Portrait, group, or landscape. The yellow light indicates incorrect focus distance. In this case, you need to use the metered distance scale. When the red light comes on, automatic exposure is not possible, and you need to use a flash.
On top, in addition to the shutter release, rewind crank, and accessory shoe, a dial allows for selecting sensitivity (in ASA and DIN), and another for resetting the frame counter.
