Chronology of cameras Asaflex

The brand Asaflex was registered on March 15, 1977, and renewed in February 1987, by the Compagnie de Diffusion Internationale et Commerciale (S.A). It was re-registered in February 1988, again for photographic equipment.
Subsequently, the "Gorthex Group" (located at 140 rue de la Pompe, 75016 Paris) simultaneously filed for the trademarks Asaflex and Gorthex on January 23, 1997.

Similar to the Hanimex 110F*, this simple camera is designed for a very young clientele. Its handle (disassembled and placed in the background of the photo) aims to reduce the risk of camera shake.

The lens is an 11/25 mm. The shutter speed is 1/70 of a second. It is equipped with a socket for a flip-flash.

* Haking is the sole manufacturer of these cameras, as it also resembles the Haking Grip-c. Hanimex had a large number of its cameras manufactured in Hong Kong by Haking.
