Chronology of cameras Photo-Sport
Photo-Sport was a distributor of cameras, accessories, and photographic chemicals. It appears to have been active from 1898 until the beginning of World War II.
Under its own brand name and with specific model names, Photo-Sport resold cameras from various manufacturers. If you compare the number of Photo-Sport models listed in catalogs to the number of cameras found and attributed to this brand, it is possible that not all cameras were labeled as Photo-Sport. Over the years, the proportion of exclusive models in the catalogs significantly decreased. Towards the end, Photo-Sport was primarily a reseller.
Photo-Sport was initially located at 22 Rue Caumartin in Paris, very close to the Opera, then moved to 56 Rue Caumartin before World War I, and finally to 71 Rue Caumartin around 1930, gradually moving closer to Gare Saint-Lazare.
From the catalogs, it is known that the first director, and possibly the founder, was named Georges de Corbin.
Dans la page 6 du catalogue Photo-Sport 1901, Il est mis en avant la taille réduite de ce détective pour 12 plaques 9 x 12 : 18 cm de hauteur, 11 cm de largeur et 21 cm de profondeur et un poids 1,8 kg. Diantre ! Espérons que ce n'est pas le poids à vide.
C'est un détective bien doté avec des vitesses variables de plusieurs secondes au 1/100 ème, une mise au point par monture hélicoïdale graduée sur l'objectif, gainé de maroquin noir, deux pas de vis de congrès pour placer l'appareil sur pied et opérer dans les deux sens horizontal ou vertical, deux niveaux et un compteur automatique.
