Chronology of cameras Alsaphot
Designed by Lucien Dodin in 1952 (apparently with a delay, according to advertisements), the Alsaflex is a 24 x 24 camera using 35mm film. It is distinctive for its viewfinder system without a pentaprism. The mirror axis is vertical, and the image, redirected by two small prisms, is completely rectified. A license for this design was granted to Olympus for the Pen F.
The rigid metal curtain shutter provides a speed of 1/1000th of a second. The camera is armed using a trigger.
It features dual flash synchronization. The lens is interchangeable with a bayonet mount, on a removable plate allowing for vertical lens shifting.
The lens mentioned is a Saphir Boyer 3.5/40, serial number 470 230.
Back: The film holder is carried by a removable flap, perhaps intended for scientific use. On the left, Flor Berthiot F = 50 1:2.8 No. 1 067 182, on the right, Saphir Berthiot F = 50 1:2.8 No. 567 647. These two lenses are equipped with a manual aperture preselection. (The aperture is held at full opening, and when released, it closes to the previously selected value.)
