The ADOX Polo was a consumer-class, viewfinder camera with a completely manual operating system.

Dr C. Schleussner Fotowerke GmbH was installed during WW2 in the stolen Wirgin camera factory of Wiesbaden, Germany.

After the war, the Wirgin brothers returned to Germany, reclaimed their factory and continued business producing the Edixa and subsequent models.

The top, bottom and the lens base cover were made from pressed steel of about ½mm thickness.

It offered three shutter speeds and aperture values had to be set by a separate light meter, by guesswork or by following the coarse exposure guide on the film package.
