Walter Voss (31 August 1908 - 11 August '68) was the founder of Walter Voss, Photo-Kamera-Fabrikation & Feinmechanik, the company that made the Diax line of 35mm cameras in the 1950s, in southern Germany's city of Ulm. The first product of 1946 was a rangefinder named "Photometer", made by a few people in rooms of his dwelling. In 1947 Voss began to make the Diax, production began in 1949, in rooms of Ulm's old fortress. Later the company got a modern industry building for production in Ulm's Neutorstraße 56. In 1957 production and company ceased.
