In this photo we see a camera reportedly called a Navax 66. Is this yet a third Navax camera? Or a variation on this one?--Vox 11:35, 25 February 2012 (PST)
- It doesn't have the style of either the 127 or the 35 mm camera; but it does seem to have a Steiner lens, so maybe the same maker (Westfälische Kamera und Apparatebau as this one. Collectiblend list it under Westfalischer Kamerabau, presumably meant as the same firm, but without a picture or a reference to confrm it. McKeown doesn't list the 66 under any maker. --Dustin McAmera 13:51, 25 February 2012 (PST)
Traces of information regarding Navax cameras can be found here :
http://photobutmore.de/vintagephoto/filter/Aufsteckdurchmesser.htm
See at filtersize 33 : Navax 6x6 m Steiner 4,5/75, 2,9/75
And at filtersize 34 : Navax 66
Furthermore in this very interesting document :
http://www.ihagee.org/Pers/Photo-TechnikuW1952-1971.pdf
On page 6, writing about the Photokina 1952, it is stated that the Westphälische Kamera- und Apparatebau presented improved versions of both Navax models and a new 6x6 camera called the "Knipser".
Furthermore i found the Index of Kadlubek 5. This index mentions the Navax 127 and the Navax 66. Both refer to the same page which deals with the Westphälische Kamera- und Apparatebau
Furthermore, and this is interesting, oldtimercameras.com stocks a "Westfalische Kamera Navax 66" Testrapport from "Amateur Photographer" magazine 1953.
