Alsaphot is a French company which produced various camera models from 1949 to 1970[1]. It depended from the company "Société Alsacienne d'Etudes et d'Exploitation, Alsetex"[2], that still exists today (2006) as "SAE Alsetex"[3].
The company began the camera production with some inexpensive medium format models, like the Dauphin pseudo TLR and the D'Assas 6×6 viewfinder camera. It later developed three advanced and original models: the Bioflex TLR, the Cyclope 6×9 camera with folded light path and the Alsaflex, a 24×24 SLR camera that did not go past the preseries level. It also took over the production of the Memox 24×24 camera from the SIAP company, and extrapolated a 24×36 model. After these interesting cameras, the company made a series of unremarkable 35mm viewfinder cameras called the Maine before stopping its activity.
