Chronology of cameras Gevaert 

This 6x6 bnox camera uses 120 film abd wwas the first in the Gevabox series.
Entirely made of bakelite, it was manufactured in 1950 by H. WOLF GmbH ( Wuppertal - Germany) for the Belgian company Gevaert .

In 1951 followed the Gevabox I ( also called Gevabox 6x9 ) , and in 1955 , the Gevabox II ( that was the third model to wear the name Gevabox ) .

This little box camera with the particular shape offers the choice between instant and bulb exposure (cursor indicating M <- > B at right on the photo) and between two apertures (cursor indicating 16 < -> 8 left on the photo) .
The shutter release is located at the top right (left on the photo) in the middle of a fake dial ( need for symmetrical aesthetic ) . A thread for cable release exists in the bakelite itself just in front of this false wheel.
 The adjustment of the distances is carried out by rotation of the lens , a meniscus ( f / 8 , 75 mm) mounted on helical screws. Distances are indicated on the periphery of the lens ( 1.5-3 , 4-6 , 7 - ∞ ) .

 This camera has a twin brother : the Adox 66.
