The Derby-Lux - made by Gallus of Paris, c.1945, was a strut folding camera with body and lens panel made of polished aluminium. It had a fast Gallix 50mm 1:3.5 focusable lens. There were four red windows on the back for the 127 film, surrounded by a depth-of-field (profondeur de champs) table.

The speed of the focal plane shutter was controlled by the large knob on the top, marked from 1/25-1/500s + B.

It is said to be a copy of the 1930s German Foth-Derby. Gallus changed the name in 1947 to the Derlux.
