Details

This classic Edinex-1 camera is a wonderful example of how craftsmanship was built in the early days of 35mm photography. The Edinex-1 comes from the factory of the Wirgin brothers, who produced photo cameras from 1929 to 1968 in the German city of Wiesbaden. The Edinex-1 was only produced in the year 1953 as a reissue and modernized version of a pre-war Edinex camera from 1939. The modification that the Edinex-1 obtained actually only includes a modified shape of the top cap in which, in addition to the viewfinder, also a flash accessory shoe. was integrated. However, the technique of the Edinex-1 has remained completely the same as that of the early Edinex from 1939.
