Gamma, Hungary | Duflex Estimate: € 3,400–3,800 Year: 1949 SN: 149137 Condition: B/A English: Historically important Hungarian 35mm SLR, designed by Jenő Dulovits and manufactured by Gamma Művek, Budapest. The Duflex was one of the most advanced reflex cameras of the immediate post-war period and is especially significant for its instant-return mirror, eye-level finder with upright and laterally correct image, metal focal-plane shutter and automatic diaphragm system. Using the unusual 24 × 32 mm format, only a small number were produced. The offered camera with matching Artar 3.5/5cm lens no.L149129 is one of the best-preserved examples known with clear finder and perfect shutter. Deutsch: Fotohistorisch bedeutende ungarische 35mm Spiegelreflexkamera nach einem Entwurf von Jenő Dulovits, hergestellt von Gamma Művek in Budapest. Die Duflex gehörte zu den fortschrittlichsten Spiegelreflexkameras der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit und ist besonders bedeutend wegen ihres sofort zurückschwenkenden Spiegels, des Augenhöhensuchers mit aufrechtem und seitenrichtigem Bild, des Metallschlitzverschlusses und der automatischen Blendensteuerung. Sie verwendet das ungewöhnliche Format 24 × 32 mm und wurde nur in kleinen Stückzahlen hergestellt. Die angebotene Kamera mit passendem Artar 3,5/5cm Nr.L149129 gehört zu den am besten erhaltenen bekannten Exemplaren, mit klarem Sucher und einwandfreiem Verschluss.
