The Euxit was a variation of Shew's Xit range of strut cameras. Primarily offered as a 'vest pocket camera' in the 2 ½" x 3 ½" size but also available in 3 ¼" x 4 ¼". The finder was either a simple frame type with a rear pointer or an eye-level lens/pointer type. The shutter always seems to have been a Compound fitted with either a focusing Cooke, Tessar or Dagor lens. The finish was either polished wood or leather covered.
