Dehel

Dehel (spoken in French: De-el) seems to be a kind of abbreviation for Demaria-Lapierre, maker of a camera known as Dehel. It is a self-erecting folding camera for rollfilm of type 120. Dehels were available for three different exposure formats: 6x9cm, 6x6cm and 4.5x6cm.

The 4.5x6 version is a light handsome metal construction, plated and covered with a durable type of leatherette. On top it has the opening button and a collapsible reverse galilean optical viewfinder. At one side it has a leather grip. Rewind crank and tripod thread are on the bottom.
