Information by relatives of Walter Voss / by former employees / data from personal documents from the estate of Walter Voss.

Data-inquiry:

Since about 1994 data of more than 2100 Diax-cameras, more than 1900 lenses and different accessories were collected.
Printed documents from the factory
Diax/Voss price-guides, leaflets and user manuals could not be listed biographically correct because of specifications lacking.
Dating from 1949 to 1957 alltogether 42 prints were available, most of them as originals.
Further documents from the factory's estates:
- a book titled „Das deutsche Photo- und Kino-Fachadressbuch“, Bad Kissingen, Ausgabe 1957;
- spare parts listings of nearly all Diax cameras contained technical data to almost every single spare part from 1948 to 1957.
- Only documents for the earliest types and for the Diaxette were missing.

A detailed list of additional sources used during my research is published in my book on the Diax history.
