Chronology of cameras Fex Indo
Traduction de Sylvain Halgand.
According to Gilles Moreau, there would have been only fifty specimens of this derivative of Delta.
This one is a survivor of the last minute: one morning on an secondhand-market very fairly interesting, I finished my third and last passage, when by spite, I leant towards the case of Ultra-Fex (which I took for such). I had seen it with each one of my passages, but with his aspect, I had not judged good to lower me to take it in hand. Indeed, it was mildewed and dented. But there by lowering me, I was very surprised to discover a camera which I had seen only in the work of Gilles Moreau. Unfortunately, the camera had to make a fall, tubes wide and directly front face against the ground, because bakelite was broken of tens of pieces. Knowing the scarcity of the aforesaid camera, I it acquired (not expensive considering the state). Of return to the house, I opened it and while there looking at well I live inside two nuts. With a very small tube tubular hexagon box spanner, I succeeded in taking down them (very with difficulty). That enabled me to separate the shutter/lens block from the extensible tube. On the screws were one second pair of nuts. They is the not split heads of these screws that we see on the front face of the camera, therefore by withdrawing the nuts it is the front face which left, while releasing from very many bakelite fragments. The front face was dented a little, but as it is made of a very fine metal plate, I succeeded in rectifying it travelling on his posterior face a metal tube. I had noticed that the body of the camera is the same one as Delta. As I had one in double then of them, I changed the plate before and thus saved dustbin one of the 50 specimens of Cliophot.
