Foinix was a trademark by a small german early post-war camera manufacturer, Karl Foitzik. He manufactured some crude 35mm viewfinder cameras after he had to give up his plans to make a Leica clone camera. There were quite a few turret viewfinders made in Germany in the early 50s. I have a Wedena finder originally made for the Lordox cameras. Usually these finders are not hard to disassemble. I also have a Braun finder made by Steinheil where the cement of the reversal prisms is foggy, I have to disassemble and reglue them some day. When disassembling the reversal prisms make notes how they come apart - there were some strange prism arrangements of loose prisms where it is not easy to figure out how they have to be assembled. |
