Here is my red Italian SIDA pictured in PHOTO ANTIQUARIA, the high quality magazine of the German Club Daguerre.

This was in issue n°76 dated NOV/2005 (at that time alas, my digital camera was not a very high resolution one !)

This was the result of an incredible experience : the book about MIOM PHOTAX cameras was co-writed with 3 other collectors (Lucien Gratté, Jacques Charrat & Sylvain Halgand) with the particularity that we never met each other ! This book was concepted 100% by exchanging emails all together...

This book is the first 'special issue' of the Bulletin of the Club Niepce Lumiere, edited in April 2006 at some 400 samples. http://www.club-niepce-lumiere.org

My German friend Harald Schwarzer has an interest in Kaftanski too. The second part of his article about Kaftanski does appear in PHOTOGRAPHICA CABINET a German collector's magazine. I tried to do my best to help him concerning the French part of Kaftanski story. Article include the FEX plant building as it is in 2008 (picture 3) and a scan of a KAFTA advertising (picture 4) that are my picturial contributions.
