TextJ. F. Shew advertised the Delta Reflex as the smallest reversing back reflex camera. The reduction in size was accomplished without sacrificing features, as it had rack focusing, rising front, and double extension bellows. This camera, fitted with an 8-inch Pinkham & Smith Semi-Achromatic (soft-focus) lens was used by Pictorialist Alvin Langdon Coburn.
