I found this folder on eBay, and was curious who the manufacturer was for these.

Don't know and I couldn't find it in McKeown's. Looks to be from the 20's to 30's. Bill Barber

Thanks for looking. It's possible it was a short lived product that didn't make it through the war. But being 620 I find interesting. I saw a Franka Rolfix. on eBay that had the exact same shutter and lens, and basic appearance.

It's a post-war camera. The lens was made in 1949 and is coated. The camera was probably made for export to the US by Adox. 620-film was never popular in Europe.

Here's a normal 120 Adox Sport: http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/bearwalk/German/AdSport.jpg

"Adox Sport 0"

but with "COMET" embossing instead of "ADOX".

(There also may have been made a version with "SPORT" embossing.)


Who might have been the client for the Comet-Version?
