Some more from the Wirgin Edixa

The camera has a sharp lens stopped down but it has no lightmeter. The exposure is set manually.

Here is some more from the 1st film with the Edixa rangefinder camera

Wirgin Edixa, a good manual rangefinder

I was able to find a trick to make the advance lever to have some friction and advance the film, so I put a roll inside to test the cameras capabilities.
The camera has manual settings, aperture from f2.8 to 16 and shutter speeds and shutter speeds from 1/25 to 1/200 + B


The lens has a normal to wide field of view, a focal length of 43mm.
The dual viewfinder is an incovinience but it is used by time.

The back of the camera with the two viewfinder windows, one for focusing and one for framing, and the tiny exposure counter:

Wirgin Edixa, a rangefinder camera with a double viewfinder

I found this Wirgin Edixa at a thrift store. The camera has a 45mm/f2.8 lens with shutter speeds from 1/25 to 1/200 plus B. There is a characteristic lens plate on the front that makes the camera's design unique and helps to the strength of the lens controls.



There are two viewfinders in the camera. One is for composing the picture. The other one is smaller for focussing, two separate windows must match the image horizontay, by turning the focus ring.
I cleaned the camera and adjusted the rangefinder, but the advance lever has not enough friction to advance the film. I must fix it later.
