The Auteuil was a 3×4 pseudo TLR sold by the French distributor Boumsell in 1947. It was an enhanced version of the Longchamp. It was marked Auteuil under the finder hood. Vial gives two lens/shutter combinations:

  • Boyer Topaz 50/3.5 and Gitzo T-B-25-50-100-300, the same as on the Norca A and Norca B, marked Paris but not Norca (pictured in Vial)
  • FAP 50/3.5 and FAP Rapid-Synchro shutter to 1/500

It was maybe made by FAP or by Monarch, see the Longchamp page. Both cameras wear the name of a famous French horse race track.
