edixa prismaflex ttl manualThe cameras accept M42 screw mount lenses with an aperture release pin. They are budget versions of Wirgin 's Prismat cameras of the same time. The design of the body is like that of the earlier Edixa Reflex series, but the exchangeable viewfinder of those cameras was abandoned, in exchange for through-the-lens metering on some models; all Prismaflexes have a fixed pentaprism viewfinder.It was available in chrome-topped or black finishes. There is no shoe to mount a flash; a cold shoe was available as an accessory, which attaches to the viewfinder; there are leatherette pads on the prism to prevent scratching when the shoe is fitted.The sliding latch beside it locks the release.In the example pictured in McKeown, there is a black dial to the frame counter, instead of a metal one. The camera is identified by the engraving Mod. 750 on the front left-hand side of the top housing.According to McKeown it is identical to the Prismaflex of the same year.This now reads through the lens, but the meter display is still on the meter itself, on the top housing.K on the front right hand side of the top housing. McKeown lists this separately as a name variant; the specification is identical.The control for this is the distinctive half moon shaped lever near the lens mount, replacing the switch by the meter on the TTL. When this lever is moved downwards, the meter is activated, and the aperture stopped down briefly. During this time, the user must adjust the shutter speed on the meter (the meter's needle is visible in the viewfinder; when it matches the gap between two control marks, the correct shutter speed for the set aperture has been set on the meter). However, before exposure the shutter speed has to be transferred manually to the shutter's mechanical speed selector.ISBN 0-931838-40-1 (hardcover). ISBN 0-931838-41-X (softcover). p.1007-8.

However I think considering the cameras in the context of SLR development during the 60s one can potentially see the Edixa as symptomatic of the decline of the German camera industry. The first Edixa Reflex came onto the scene in 1954. It was the first West German SLR to use a focal plane shutter and the first to use the M42 mount. Prior to this the East Germans had dominated the miniature SLR scene - Exakta was first on the scene with a system SLR, Praktica came out with the first consumer grade SLR and popularized the M42 mount. The Contax D introduced pentaprism viewing. In the early years of miniature SLR development, the Wirgin Edixa Reflex stayed on the cutting edge. They adopted right handed lever advance from the start - Before Praktica, before Pentax. They adopted internally triggered automatic diaphragm operation at about the same time Praktica did (and years before Pentax finally adopted the system in 1960). The Edixa-Mat introduced the instant mirror return to the Edixa Reflex line in 1960, half a decade before Praktica and Exakta finally adopted the feature, and hot on the heels of the Japanese manufacturers. But then the innovation stopped. For various reasons the Edixa ceased to keep up with the latest and the greatest in SLR technology. Improvements were minor. The clip in viewfinders were dropped in favor of slide in viewfinders for instance. Wirgin attempted to introduce a proprietary bayonet mount, but that failed commercially. In 1966 they began to produced cameras with TTL metering, three years after Topcon introduced the concept commercially, and even after Pentax and Praktica began making TTL cameras.https://events.citeve.pt/chat-conversation/boss-br-900cd-digital-recording-studio-manual And even then, Edixa's implementation of TTL metering was backwards and old fashion -the meter did read through the lens, but the meter read out was on the top plate - not in the viewfinder! 1967 marked the last major update to the original line. The Prismat TTL was introduced. The meter needle was moved to inside of the viewfinder like one would have expected, and was triggered by holding down a lever on the front of the camera body. Pretty typical stuff. In 1968 the TTL was replaced by the LTL which introduced a more ergonomic meter switch, but otherwise is essentially the same camera. The LTL was the last Edixa model in production until 1971. It was replaced by the short lived Edixa Electronica TTL, a completely new camera - which though perfectly up to date for the time, cost too much to produce and sold poorly. Then that was it. The design team was lead by Heinz Waaske and included people who had experience in working on designs for Praktica and Exakta. Not surprisingly the camera has some mechanical similarities to those cameras. There is a rather obvious resemblance between the early Edixas and the early Topcons, so it seems other designers must have held the camera in high esteem at the time. The mark was revalued (upward) by about 40 per cent between 1968 and 1971. When President Richard Nixon unilaterally abrogated the Bretton Woods agreement on 15 August 1971 the value of the mark would only continue to rise. It's not surprising that Carl Zeiss pulled the plug on Zeiss Ikon shortly thereafter.These cameras featured fixed prisms, as this had come to be accepted as the norm by now. The Edixa-Flex series retained interchangeable viewfinders until the end of production. By this point, the Edixa Reflex series was already past its zenith. This was also the year that Heinz Waaske left Wirgin in search of greener pastures.https://diving-gbdf.com/images/carver-cmv-1185-manual.pdf Although cosmetically and mechanically updated, the Prismats and Prismaflex cameras retained outdated features - a lift and set revolving shutter dial, a manually set exposure counter, and knob rewind. Although they were outclassed by Japanese cameras in the same market segment, they did still go head to head with the then new Praktica Nova - although the Edixas were arguably better finished and constructed. At the time Praktica and Exakta retained similar features. Praktica had only just adopted a non-revolving shutter dial for the Prakticamat, and Exakta would keep one as well as a manually set exposure counter up until the end of VX1000 production. Aside from Leica and Contax, I don't know all that much about German cameras aside from specific models that I happen to have come across (such as the late 1930s Weltur 6x6 that I have).In 1968 Henry Wirgin retired. The factory was purchased by employees and the company reorganized. The Wirgin name was dropped completely and the company itself began to go by the Edixa name. During this period Germany began to experience rapid inflation which was to cause major headaches for all of the German camera companies. In the middle of all of this Zeiss introduced the Icarex SLR. The Japanese had already been offering it for years at this point, and even Praktica had joined in with the Prakticamat in 1965. The Edixa Prismat's implementation of TTL metering was a bit odd, but rather clever given the mechanical limitations of the camera. I'll describe its operation in the next post. The film speed was set by a dial around the film rewind (by the way at this point Edixa finally adopted a rapid rewind crank, rather strange considering how simple it would have been to implement and also that the company must have spent a considerable sum reworking the internal mechanicals of the camera between 1965 and 1967). This dial is surrounded by an oversized thumb wheel that indicates but is not linked to the shutter speed. This thumb wheel overhangs the corner of the camera body (a bit like the Leica M5 shutter dial - perhaps the Edixa inspired Leica on this point. Perish the thought!) so that it can be operated by the thumb while the index finger holds down the meter lever. In the view finder is a meter needle that when centered indicates proper exposure. Once you have it, you transfer the indicated shutter setting from the thumb wheel to the shutter dial. Since the shutter dial is of the revolving lift and set type, coupling it to the meter would have been problematic, if not impossible. However, retaining the revolving shutter dial enables the photographer to easily make double exposures by re-tensioning the shutter without having to advance the film.Considering that German camera manufacturers ran the gamut from some of the smallest operations, to the largest and most prestigious in the world - Wirgin is a pretty good median. There were problems that were internal, such as Henry Wirgin retiring, and Heinz Waaske leaving, and there were problems that were external such as German inflation in the late 60s, and increasing foreign competition and innovation. However I find it interesting that there was enough faith in the future of the company in 1968 (when many companies had already folded or were in serious trouble) that production continued even after Wirgin left. The LTL was produced into the early 70s, and lots of time and money was pumped into producing an up to date successor which ultimately turned out to be Electronica TTL. Part of it was a gamble for sure, but part of it was symptomatic of the challenges to and decline of the German camera makers in general.You are spot on with your observations about the German camera industry, even the Leicaflex suffered from too little, too late. However the Edixas also suffered from quality issues, if you can find one thyat works properly you are doing well!Thanks for a really worthwhile post.A new company under the Edixa name was established and this company continued the Wirgin business. I think the major fault of the Edixa SLRs was that they kept the original shutter design (with a rotating dial) far too long. All japanese manufacturers had switched to escapement-regulated shutters long before. And Wirgin was close to that - the models with the additional slow-speed dial had a mechanical escapement, and probably it would have been not too difficult to change the design such that all speeds were escapement-controlled. The slow-speed dial was NOT rotatiing, and expanding its range to faster speeds would have yielded into a non-rotating shutter speed dial for all speeds. And this way they would have been able to integrate a truly speed-dial coupled TTL meter. I think the fate of the Edixa SLRs resembles the fate of the Volkswagen Beetle. Both were innovative designs when production was started, were slightly redesigned over the decades and finally were completely outdated. Volkswagen was big enough to make completely new car designs.I think there was a notchback and a Karmann Ghia model also in Europe. When they started making Rabbits in Pennsylvania, (in 1975?) these models disappeared.When you look at their attempts to stay competitive and their belief that their product was still something to be reckoned with. The assesment of too little too late though is apt and realistic. Like Rocky said It ain't ovah till it's ovah. In any case the Edixa was a contender!Mr Giugiaro at first offered the design to Italian automaker FIAT, that however sent him packing. FIAT's own Style Center was perfectly up to designing excellent cars, and the company had no use for outsiders, thank you. So VW grabbed a design that completely changed their fortunes and eventually the face of the entire European automotive industry, while FIAT introduced the truly horrendous Ritmo model in the totally failed attempt at competing with the Golf. And to close the cycle, Mr Giugiaro has now sold his company to, you guess it, VW. What happened was, the DM gained in value vis-a-vis the main reference currencies and most particularly the US dollar (which had a disastrous impact on German export), but this is not an inflationary process. Prices in Germany did not grow to an excessive rate during that period.A transverse engine (with single overhead cam), front wheel drive, strut suspension, three box design - five years ahead of the VW Golf. Zastava's licensed version of the 128 only went out of production in 2009. Essentially the 128 was the father of all modern economy sedans. I thank those of you who have clarified some of the foggier points of my recollections. I have shot a couple rolls through the Prismaflex and find it a charming, if rudimentary camera to use. I'm not particularly fond of SLRs with fixed prisms, but the simple focussing screen in this camera is a joy to view. The large split image is excellent - I'm particularly amazed by the lack of fresnel rings. I doesn't seem to have a fresnel screen at all. And yet the viewfinder is still brighter than that on my Prakticas which have noticeable rings when looking into the viewfinder. Not quite as bright as some of my other SLRs, particularly the Miranda which is exceptionally bright for the era. I noticed that the shutter has to be cocked before one can focus. Kind of like the early Pentax models, the mirror doesn't go fully into position until the shutter is cocked. A little odd. The shutter and mirror are also pretty loud. Shutter blackout is minimal, the mirror snaps back down faster than it seems it does some other older SLRs. One other point of interest. Some M42 lenses will not work on some Edixa SLRs. I tried all of my M42 lenses out on the Prismaflex. All of them worked. I tried them on the Prismat TTL. None of them worked completely. The lenses would not stop down all the way on the Prismat. I measured the throw of the diaphragm plunger on both, and the the plunger on the Prismat travels about 1mm less than the plunger on the Prismaflex. I checked my parts Prismaflex, and same deal. For some reason the Prismat has a shorter throw. It also mounts the lenses slightly off kilter.For those who don't know, many west German companies made Edixa-specific M42 lenses that were guaranteed to couple to Edixas. When Edixa adopted the M42 mount they were the first non-east-German company to do so, and sort of adopted slightly different standards when they did so. Afterall this was in the era of preset lenses so it didn't really matter much if all lenses mounted exactly right side up.I honestly have no idea what the point to this could have been. Perhaps they wanted to rope customers into sticking with Edixa lenses. Could it be maybe the German lens companies supported this as a way to help keep imported lenses out of the market. I honestly have no idea, I cannot find anything on the matter online, but I'd be interesting in hearing if there was more to it than Edixa simply not caring too much about certain aspects of the Prakticas M42 standard in 1954. Wirgin could not have seen this coming in 1956 when they introduced automatic diaphragm operation. At least it does so on both of my Edixas, I never had any problems with focussing on both of them. I use a split-image screen on both (of course, on the one with fixed prism it is built in, the other one has an original Edixa split-image screen - you can still find many Edixa accessories in Germany). The camera made with Its some parts were medium quality, and therefore it is not easy nowadays to find a good working Edixa. The quality of the lenses which were especially marketed for the Edixa in a distinctive style varies sharply from excellent to poor. The camera-body was usually offered without the lens.These cameras show continuos improvements during their long production times. It was based in the Hessian capital Wiesbaden and made a line of quite inexpensive 35mm SLRs from the 1950s to the 1970s, including the Edixa Reflex and Edixa-Mat Reflex. Wirgin was West Germany's main producer of SLRs with focal plane shutter. It also produced some of the lenses for its cameras, among them several M42 screw mount lenses.They introduced their first distinctive camera in 1927, the Edinex, which they produced also as Adrette for Adox. In 1934 the company surprised the market with a very small viewfinder camera for type 127 film, the Gewirette. From the mid-1930s it also made Edinex 35mm viewfinder cameras.However, the Nazi persecution of the Jews compelled them to escape from Germany, with the help of one of their clerks. Max arrived in the US May 14, 1936, Max helped his brothers follow him to America. The Wirgin factory in Wiesbaden became incorporated into the Adox company.An administrative officer of the American occupied zone of Germany sent Heinz Waaske as promising aspirant to Wirgin. At that time Waaske had sold his prototype of a miniature camera to the Americans. In 1951 the talented mechanician Waaske became camera constructor. He constructed the company's first SLR, a model with focal plane shutter, the first camera like that in Western Germany. He also constructed a more elegant SLR prototype, and later a complicated electronically controlled SLR with Compur shutter, and a stereo rangefinder camera.Wirgin granted the rights on a new 35mm viewfinder camera to Waaske. This camera was none less than the prototype of what became the famous Rollei 35. Waaske had constructed it at Wirgin company.In 1968 Henry Wirgin closed his original company and continued the production of some camera models in a new smaller plant. In 1971, shortly before its closing, the company introduced a quite modern but heavy SLR camera.He had not only been one of the top entrepreneurs of the West German camera industry, he was also engaged in rewinning normal friendly relationships of non-Jewish Germans to Jewish citizens as chairman of the Society for German-Jewish co-operation.By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Ein Freund hatte mir die Spotmatic fur ein paar Monate fur einen Irland-Trip ausgeliehen. Zum andern war sie ohne Zweifel ein Meilenstein in der Geschichte der einaugigen Spiegelreflexkameras. Als erste SLR hatte sie die Belichtungsmessung durch das Objektiv (TTL). Mit dieser Kamera wurde auch deutlich, dass die (west)deutschen Kamerahersteller einen wichtigen Schritt in der Entwicklung der einaugigen Spiegelreflexkameras verschlafen hatten. Wahrend sie noch am Konzept der komplizerten Zentralverschluss-SLRs festhielten (z. B. die schone, aber technisch aufwendige und in der Brennweitenauswahl beschrankte Ultramatic ), begann der Siegeszug der japanischen Kameras. Schon 1966 setzten sie mit der Minolta SR-T 101 noch eins drauf: diese Erfolgskamera hatte Bajonettanschluss und Offenmessung. Der Verschluss der Spotmatic ging von 1 Sek.Man hielt noch lange am M42-Gewindeanschluss fest und hatte dadurch ein gro?es Objektivangebot, obwohl die eigenen Takumare zur Spitzenklasse gehorten. Mit dem Standardobjektiv wiegt die Kamera 870 g, was sie ja recht verwacklungssicher macht. Und es gibt kein Batterieproblem. Obwohl die Spotmatic eigentlich eine nicht mehr erhaltliche Quecksilberbatterie mit 1,35 Volt benotigt, gibt es Alternativen. So konnen ohne weiteres 1,55-V-Silberoxidzellen verwendet werden.

K aus Wiesbaden The first Edixa Reflex of 1954 was the first 35mm SLR to use a (right handed) lever advance. Edixas also adopted automatic aperture operation in 1956 and the instant return mirror in 1960. Unfortunately after that the series began to lag behind, the Adoption of TTL metering came rather late starting in 1967, and at first the meter needle had to be read from the top plate. Edixas did not gain a rewind crank until the late 1960s, and the lift-and-set revolving shutter dial held on till the bitter end. But it is a nice looking and functional camera.

This was the very last picture that my wretched Edixa Prismaflex took. I've seen it applied to all sorts of German cameras, but this is the first Wirgin SLR I've seen it on. The Prismaflex was Wirgin's answer to the east German Praktica Nova. Both cameras sold in the same price bracket, and were actually quite cheap even compared to Japanese SLRs. Although also relatively primitive compared to them. In the 1950s the Edixa Reflex cameras were on the cutting edge of SLR technology - lever wind, interchangeable view finders and focus screens, automatic diaphragm operation, built in light meters and self timers.Edixa adopted the instant return mirror in 1960, years before most other German companies, and hot on the heels of Japanese companies. But by the mid 1960s, Wirgin had fallen behind, and indeed from 1965 onwards there were no major innovations other than to adopt TTL metering which had been available from Japanese companies since 1963. Wirgin went bankrupt in 1968, and the company was reorganized. Most of the camera models were dropped in favor of producing just two basic types. There were the Prismaflex LTL, and Prismat LTL - the difference being in the number of shutter speeds, both models featuring TTL metering. Although all of these were old fashioned by this point, they remained competitively priced, and there seem to be a lot of Prismat LTLs still around so they must have sold fairly well. The end finally came in 1971 when the above models were terminated (apparently) and the ahead of its time Edixa Electronica TL was introduced. The Electronica TL should have been revolutionary with its electronic light metering and electronically controlled shutter, but it was rushed onto the market and proved to be an unreliable bomb. The Japanese got it right several years later, but in the meantime Edixa went under for good. Completely Air Conditioned. Free T.V. and Radio. Ample Free Parking — Adjacent to Shopping Centre.

A few companies like Isco and Steinheil seemed to do a pretty big business supplying Wirgin with the kit lenses for the Edixas. Both cameras have a front mounted shutter release, but the shutter release on the Edixa is a few millimetres higher on the camera body than the Prakticas. If Edixa had adopted the exact same M42 standard as Praktica, the arms on these lenses would mount a few milimeters too low to couple with the shutter button - but if they rotate the mount a few degrees clockwise, the arm would be high enough to couple properly. When Wirgin released cameras with the internally activated diaphragm they probably wanted these cameras to be compatible with the older lenses.
