Description, Shipping, & Availability:
A little rarer Fotex Akromat Finnish bakelite camera made by Sarvis in Tampere, Finland. Most likely an prototype model wich never officially released for production.
Sarvis started produce much simpler Fotex instead of Fotex Akromat, wich is still the only one Finnish mass-produced bakelite camera. Few hundred Fotex cameras were made. The optics were manufactured by a Tampere-based optician and the camera body itself, the Sarvis plastic factory.
There is no guarantee that the camera will work, however everything seems to be working. As is, for collecting purpose.

Film Camera Quality Control
-
Light Seals
Light seals, are thin strips of black foam that keep unwanted light from leaking into your camera body. Since they degrade with time, we replace them on most cameras that need it. This keeps your images free of light leaks.
-
Automatic Exposure / Metering
The amount of automatic features in a camera will determine the path of machine testing we must perform. These tests can check light meters and automatic features through a range of exposure values. Calibrated lenses and calibrated light boxes also assist in this process.
-
Shutter Speeds
We use period-appropriate, professional-grade testing equipment as necessary to accurately assess shutter performance. These machines tell us how long a shutter stays open and whether or not the shutter curtains are moving correctly. We have multiple machines that allow us to test nearly every camera type available.
-
Infinity Focusing & Rangefinder Alignment
Our collimator is used to simulate infinity focus for the purpose of ensuring lens alignment & focus at any distance. We also use a special high-contrast target board to ensure that rangefinders are properly aligned both vertically & horizontally.
