Perfex

Perfex de Luxe

The Perfex de Luxe was produced from 1947 to 1950 by the Candid Camera Corporation of Chicago, IL. It was made in the U.S.A. It is the first of the post war Perfex models. It has an interesting design for an interchangeable lens rangefinder. The lens is mounted (with a threaded screw mount) to a ring on the camera. The ring is marked with focusing distances and this ring is rotated to focus the lens while the rangefinder shows what is in focus. It has a cloth focal plane shutter with speeds (from B to 1/1250 of a second) set on the top and side of the camera similar to older leica and canon rangefinders. The camera shown is a 50mm f2.8 Wollensak Perfex Velostigmat lens. One was also made with a f2 lens.
