Fotofex - Visor fex

[Daniel C]

This is the second Visor Fex camera from Fotofex on my shelves (page 310 of the McKeown).
These cameras may be used with plates or rollfilms. When used with plates, the rear part swings back for the plate holder to be inserted. A blind plate avoid the rollfilm to receive light during this operation.
After a plate has been exposed, you may continue to expose the end of the rollfilm.
These cameras are quite scarce. It is even more difficult to find them together with the plate holder, the blind plate and the ground glass adapter.
My first Visor-Fex is fitted with a Jos Schneider & Co Kreuznach Xenar lens on a Compur shutter, the second has a Topaz Boyer Paris lens (also mounted on a Compur) and came to me with its blind plate and the plate holder.
