The cast-metal bodied viewfinder camera Sida was made in 1936 by Fritz Kaftanski's Sida GmbH of Berlin. It is a simple camera, making 25x25-mm images on unperforated, paper-backed 35mm 'Sida' roll-film. According to McKeown, versions of the camera were also made with bodies of a bakelite material, in France, Poland, Italy (by Guiseppe Pozzoli in Milan), and Britain (by Sida Cameras Limited of London).[1]
A later bakelite model was sold as the Sida Extra; McKeown notes only that it has the word 'Extra' moulded into the body, and is otherwise very similar to the original model.[1] Similarly, later metal-bodied cameras were sold as the Sida Standard
The camera has a simple 'I' and 'B' shutter, an f/8 meniscus lens, a little optical viewfinder and a red window for film advance.
After the war Kaftanski revived the camera as the Sidax, produced in Paris.
