The Luxa 66 is a Bakelite camera for square pictures on 120 film, made by Hermann Wolf in the 1950s. Wolf originally made the camera for Adox, who sold it as the Adox 66, and for Gevaert, who sold it as the Gevabox. When these companies no longer wanted the camera, Wolf sold it under their own name. McKeown dates this to about 1955.[1]
The camera has an f/8 lens, with zone focusing and a f/16 aperture stop, and an 'I' and 'B' shutter ('M' for 'Moment', or 'B'). The viewfinder is a large brilliant finder.
