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):

The Polo 1S differs from the Polo 1 with a better lens, a more capable shutter with a self-timer, and a viewfinder with frame lines. The two models were sold with a significant price difference. In the 1961 Porst catalog, the Polo 1 was priced at 63 DM and the Polo 1S at 99 DM.
