Photax III is a simple viewfinder camera made of Bakelite—an early plastic—produced by Manufacture d’Isolants et d’Objets Moulé, a now defunct French company that specialized in electrical insulators and plastic molding. M.I.O.M. made several different cameras before and after the Second World War including eight variations of their flagship Photax model between 1937 and 1960. Like the vast majority of M.I.O.M. cameras, the Photax III utilizes a lens made by French optics company Boyer. In this particular case, it’s a simple meniscus lens labeled as a Boyer Serie VIII. The lens has two preset apertures labeled simply as “1” (approximately f/8) and “2” (approximately f/11) for “cloudy” and “sunny” days, respectively. The shutter has three speeds (1/100, 1/25, and Time) and is triggered by depressing the metal shutter button protruding from the top of the lens barrel. The knurled knob next to the viewfinder is used to advance the film while frames are kept track of through the red window located on the back of the camera.
