Description:
Gevabox is a pseudo-viewfinder camera which is in fact a box camer with an optical viewfinder on the top. Box cameras are usually fitted with two brilliant finders which help to frame the picture both horizontally and vertically. Gevabox was made in West Germany in 1955-1959. Reportedly camera was manufactured by Bilora not Gevaert, but it was sold under its brand. Camera takes 6x9 exposures on 120 roll-film. It s fully made out of heavy metal alloy, except large plastic viewfinder. It has an accessory shoe, most likely for the flash lamp, which can synch with the socket on the lens. The lens is a fixed focus 105mm f 11. There are two aperture stops f 11, f 16 three speeds 1 100, 1 50, B (Bulb). For the box cameras manufactured at that time this is uncommon to have that many options.
