Wirgin Edixa II Isco-Gottingen Isconar 43mm F2.8 C Rangefinder Film Camera Made in Germany - Brand: Wirgin - Model Name: Edixa II - Lens: ISCONAR 1:2.8/50 - Film Type: 35mm Full Size - Focusing Method: Rangefinder This is a German rangefinder film camera released in 1954. It has a very stylish form! Although the bottom has discolored, it is in relatively good condition overall considering its age. There is no exposure meter, so please use it manually, such as with a light meter app on your phone. Basic operations are generally good. Double winding (double stroke), the shutter will not fire unless film is loaded. Sliding the button under the shutter lever on the back to the left will release the sprocket and allow rewinding. This time, a phenomenon occurred where the shutter did not operate occasionally during the shutter check, so the shutter blades were cleaned, and it is unlikely to recur for the time being! The small viewfinder to the left of the main viewfinder in the center of the back is the rangefinder (split image). Adjust the distance by matching the upper and lower images (turn the distance dial on the tip of the lens). Although it is smaller than the Barnack Leica viewfinder, the split image is clearly visible. Isco is a subsidiary of Schneider, a world-renowned lens manufacturer, and is famous for its excellent, affordable lenses. When strong light is shone on the optical parts, a slight stain can be seen, but it is in a reasonably good condition. No batteries are required, so you can take pictures once you load the film! Cameras of this era do not have high shutter speeds, so they are compact, easy to carry, and suitable for snapshots. ISO100 film, shutter speed 1/100, aperture value f11 or f16 (in cloudy conditions, f5.6 or f8). You can generally take pictures with these settings. It's a camera from over half a century ago, but it's a testament to German craftsmanship. It still works and is in good condition. Please take a good look at the photos and make your purchase. Thank you for viewing. "Negotiations for a slight price reduction are possible."
