The Luxette is a rigid body viewfinder camera for type No. 127 roll film. Its specialities are the Roeschlein of Bad Kreuznach lens, and the usage of light metals for the making of its body. The version with accessory shoe is named Cima 44. The camera has a double exposure prevention mechanism. Turning the film advance knob unlocks the shutter release button for the next exposure.
