Sport was the name of a range of 6x9 Adox folders, manufactured in Wiesbaden in the old Wirgin factory in several versions, also with rangefinder. The Wirgin-branded model was named Presto.
It was named Sport, I think, in part because it was a catchy name, but also because it was simple, sturdy, and easy to "pack and go". It was offered in various degrees of refinement from before WWII until the end of the 50's. It was usually fitted with a Steinheil Cassar or Schneider-Kreuznach Radionar lenses.
The Sport Ia is differentiated from the Sport I by the small 'a'... and by a completely redesigned top cover, integrating the finder with an accessory shoe. The I usually was fitted with a Vario shutter, the Ia has a Pronto shutter, the II a Prontor S, and the III a Prontor SV (according to McKeown).
As can be seen on the camera’s back, it is multi-format. It can shoot 6x9 or 6x45 thanks to a moveable internal mask: The Sport came with a 6 x 4.5 mask, but like others, these are usually lost. Structurally, this is among the strongest folders, rock solid, that you could choose. Courtesy of jnoir
Details: This is a ADOX SPORT IIa 2a Medium Format 120 Film Folding Camera with Prontor-S Shutter and Steinheil Cassar Lens and has minimal age-related usage marks. No major scratches, bashes, or dings. It has been UVC sanitised. Please study the high-resolution photos closely to evaluate the condition as pictures speak louder than words. I'm no expert, so feel free to request any specific additional photos or questions about the piece/lot so as to be sure about what you may be looking to buy. This is an ideal item for an avid collector or fan of vintage folding cameras.
