Adox Sport

Format: 6 x 9 or 6 x 6 (mask) on 120 rollfilm

The name "Blaue Engel" is of
course my own idea with a loving reference to Marlene Dietrich. This beauty is totally restored and CLA'ed with new
blue trimmings and new blue bellows. It is of course the work of Jurgen
Kreckel, and I recommend that you visit his website
here. I kinda like the way people stare at me when I pop
open this big folder.
I haven't really got big plans
to collect a lot of Adox cameras, but there is a few that I can't resist.
The "Sport" above is one of the few, and needless to say I am looking for at
mint condition Adox 300 also, which is probably the most interesting design
that came out of the Adox factory
All in all a solid, well
functioning medium format folder-camera that offers the basics, no more
no less. The "Sport" was produced in Wiesbaden in the old Wirgin
factory from 1959 to 1968 in several versions, also with rangefinder.
