Chronology of cameras Sida
The invention of the Sida camera and its derivatives is commonly attributed to Fritz Kaftanski, who is more well-known for his Fex cameras. However, to be precise, the credit belongs to both Karl Gumpel and Fritz Kaftanski, as evidenced by the patents filed for the precursor of this camera.
The Sida camera was manufactured in Berlin during the 1930s. It had several variations that differed in terms of materials, technical operation, and more. The film used was specific, producing negatives of 24 x 24 mm. The lens was an 8/35 mm.
Years later, after the war, a French version of the camera would emerge, called the Sidax, made from bakelite. Equivalent models were manufactured under license in other parts of the world, including Britain and Italy.
__________
Ce modèle est une variante du Sida original, toujours en fonte d’aluminium, avec comme différences notables la molette d’entraînement du film cannelée droite et sa surface non pas pointilliste, mais d’aspect étiré.
L’appareil est livré avec un viseur sportif à cadre métallique escamotable très fragile expliquant le fait qu'un grand nombre de boîtier actuellement sur le marché en est dépourvu. Il est également équipé d'un viseur optique amovible optionnel tout aussi rare. Ce dernier se coulisse tout simplement sur une queue d'aronde.
La tirette latérale permet de basculer de la position T (Time), correspondant à une vitesse de 1/25 ème de seconde, à la position M (Moment).
