Chronology of cameras Murer et Duroni
This Express Newness V features an ivorine plate from the Panajou store, established in 1865 in Bordeaux and still in operation at its original address, 50 Allées de Tourny.
On the front face, you'll find:
- A button located to the right of the lens for choosing between Bulb (long exposure) and Instantaneous modes.
- A control marked with M that shifts Close up filters and allows the selection of four focusing distances.
- A button beneath the ivorine plate that activates a spring, adjusting the shutter speeds from Slow to Fast.
On the side, there are:
- The shutter release, moving along a notched groove to lock the shutter in the open position.
- The pivoting lever responsible for tilting the plates.
Each model in the "Express Newness" series is named with a letter, each of which carries a specific meaning or significance.

The Series II boasts a higher level of craftsmanship. The cameras in this series are crafted from walnut plywood covered in Morocco leather. The achromatic lens features a distance adjustment system, achieved by inserting lenses in front of the lens using a small lever located in front of the camera. The lens is equipped with an iris diaphragm. Lastly, the back closure is secured by two buttons concealed beneath the leather.
In this series, the viewfinder covers have a mirror on their inner surface, allowing for eye-level framing and focusing.
