ATOMS Cameras

Here are the ATOMS cameras in my collection with date of introduction and film type.

The Categories

The Art Deco cameras on this site are divided into 5 Deco categories - Proto Deco, Classic Deco, Streamlined Deco, Deco Influenced and Post Deco.

Star System

I use a star system to show Deco strength. Each camera is rated by how strongly it embodies Art Deco style, from iconic five-star classics to those with incidental Deco elements.

History

The name ATOMS is an acronym for the Association de Techniciens en Optique et Mecanique Scientifique. It was a French manufacturer founded in 1946 in St. Etienne, France. ATOMS produced twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras and were well-known for manufacturing their own line of "Atos" shutters. Atos shutters were used by other French camera makers like Fex and Lumiére.
