Adox

Adox was a German company, also called Dr C. Schleussner Fotowerke GmbH, whose main activity was photo chemistry. They produced some camera models from the 1930s to the early 1960s, the most advanced being the Adox 300 with interchangeable film magazines. In 1938 Adox took over the camera factory of Wirgin when the Wirgin brothers had to leave Germany to escape from persecution by the German regime of that time. After WWII Henry Wirgin bought it back.
