In
1937, the company Lumière produces the Eljy model.
Having a very small size (8 x 5 cm), it uses a special film of a
24x36 format which is allowing 8 photos. The film is mounted on a paper
sheet.
The Eljy type 5 is equipped with a lens Anastigmat Lypar 1:3,5
f=40mm attached to a optical pipe which can be retracted into the camera
body.
The miniaturized shutter Lumière allows the following speeds : 1/10,
1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200sec, pauses B and T.
The focus can be adjusted in
a range of 50 cm to the infinite by rotating the lens.
The quality of this lens is exceptional; it allows perfect close-up.
Nevertheless, this functionality was requesting to use a flexible
shutter release in order to avoid vibrations.
