The '''Lumirex''' is a French camera made by [[Lumière]], which we find before and after WWII. It is a simple 6×9cm camera which was also available as a 6.5×11cm. It was more powerful than the [[Lumière Lumix|Lumix]] which used the same body. The lens of Lumirex can be a Fidor f/6.3 or Spector f/4.5. The shutter gives 10–125, B, T speeds. Focusing is done by turning the front lens. The 1940 model has a [[shutter release]] on the body. It is the case of that presented here.

The Lumirex is a French camera made by Lumière, both before and after WWII. It is a simple folding roll-film camera made in 6×9cm and 6.5×11cm sizes. It was somewhat better specified than the Lumix which has the same body. The lens of the Lumirex is either a Fidor f/6.3 or Spector f/4.5. The shutter gives speeds 1/10 - 1/125 second, plus 'B' and 'T' (considerably more range than that on the Lumix). Focusing is by turning the front lens element. The 1940 model, shown here, has a shutter release on the body.
