    Gallus Derlux

    Never been a camera collector but I found this one by accident and I'm thinking of buying. It just so cool looking

    Yes, that is the way it is supposed to look. It is polished aluminum. I've started looking into them and there are several different models. Some with faster/better quality lenses, some with an accessory shoe.

    There are web entries in english for it but I'm posting this one because it shows the exact model I found with the same lack of accessory shoe or accessories such as lens cover and case.

    Gallus - Derlux : The Camera Collector

    The one I found is 75 Euros asking price but ebay shows them between 80 and 150 depending on model and accessories. Since film is available it might be fun to try it out too.

    Here are some sample shots:

    Hope you enjoy.

    I was hoping for someone like you...

    Have you ever seen one?

    It looks like just such a piece of junk when you first look at it.

    Gallus Derby then Derby-Lux then Derlux

    Never seen one in the flesh. French cameras are very scarce hereabouts (Southern Calif.).

    No congrats yet. I can't seem to find the ad again

    It's so cool looking I think I'll find one to buy somehow eventually but it may be a bit longer.
