Chronology of cameras Adox
After the Sport and the Golf in the early 1960s, here is a new series of 35 mm cameras whose name evokes dynamism, by associating a certain idea of luxury. But despite their name, some Polos are simple cameras, without much technicality, and even less luxury.
The series includes the following models (source Mc Keown):

1 The Radionar L 2.8/45mm lens has a specificity, denoted by the L. Its lenses are coated by adding lanthanum oxide La2O3 to increase the refractive index. Lanthanum is one of the rare earth metals.
2 With built-in lightmeter.
__________
It is easy to spot the brand name on the logo at the front, but you need to open the back to read the name of the model written on a simple label inside.
In the viewfinder, three colored lights (red, yellow, and green) allow for exposure control based on the selected mode of operation using the crown closest to the body. Three options are available: automatic mode, aperture selection with automatic shutter speed control, aperture selection in flash mode. The light meter is a Bertram.
On the top, in addition to the shutter release button, the rewind crank, and the accessory shoe, a dial is used to select the sensitivity (in ASA and DIN), and another one for resetting the frame counter.
