Chronology of cameras Plavic
Le Passe-Partout est un folding guère plus grand qu'un Kodak Vest Pocket. Il donne cependant des négatifs plus grands, 5 x 7,5 au lieu de 4 x 6,5 cm.
Il utilise la pellicule Plavic N° 331 de six poses (le N° 31 correspond au format 127 du Kodak Vest Pocket). L'obturateur est un Gauthier Derval rebaptisé Plavicos. L'objectif est un Plavic 6,3/90 mm.
1 Référence A. 29 chez As de Trèfle, G. 29 chez Gevaert. C'est le format Ensignette 2 pour les Anglais et 129 pour Kodak.
Plavic's presence can be traced back to the 1919 Photo-Plait catalog. It wasn't a camera manufacturer but rather specialized in producing film rolls and "film blocks." The manufacturer's name was the Société des Celluloses Planchon based in Lyon. Their production was limited to the cellulose base, as the emulsions were sourced from Lumière.
The Plavic Film company was established in June 1927 and, in an effort to diversify, decided to market cameras under the Plavic and Plavico brand names.
This company ceased to exist on December 31, 1930. It was fully absorbed by the Lumière company.
