Chronology of cameras Universal
Universal Camera Corp produced three Univex Iris models: the simple model, the simple model with flash, and the Deluxe model.
The Deluxe model is encased in leatherette, while the other two are made of granulated metal.
The film used is Universal 00, which produces images sized 28 x 38 mm.
The lens is telescopic, and an original folding mechanism (bent and pivoting palette) allows coupling the shutter release on the body to the one located on the lens. There is a slot available inside the body for storing a spare film.
On the simple model with flash, the flash shoe is mounted on a kind of pyramid above the viewfinder. The flash trigger contact is controlled by the bent palette. This allowed Universal to add the flash to the simple model without having to modify the camera itself.
