(from camera-wiki.org):
"The Eclair Lux was a box camera manufactured by Tiranty in France under license from Coronet, beginning in the late 1940s. Despite the flashy design of the front panel, this model for 6×9 cm images on 120 film was rather simple, with a fixed focus lens, no aperture adjustment, and only a Bulb/Instant shutter selector. It is equipped with flash sync posts, however."
Here's a lovely box camera that's popular among collectors due to its wonderful faceplate. Although this is a pretty lousy photo, I'm sharing it because of the box, which is rather attractive itself, and not often seen.
The Eclair Lux was manufactured by the French company Tiranty, under license from British company Coronet.
6 x 9 images on 120 film.
