Chronology of cameras Inconnue

Traduction de Sylvain Halgand

Setting besides this star enters the two windows of the viewfinders, it does not have there nothing in particular in this Detective; nothing not allowing to determine its mark.

The quality of manufacture is good. It is equipped with a true diaphragm with iris. The adjustment of distance is very approximate. It consists of a displacement of the lens (placed behind the diaphragm), made possible thanks to a simple pull knob located above the frontal lens. The front face of the camera, easily working, makes it possible to observe all the sophistication of such a system. The lower cursor makes it possible to regulate the shutter speed by the simple tension of a spring.

Only one “Patented SGDG” engraved in the wood of the interior of the camera, makes it possible to affirm that it is about a French camera.
