The Arette IA was a 35mm viewfinder camera made in Germany by Apparate & Kamerabau, introduced in ca. 1957. This was a cleanly-designed, well made camera featuring an Isco-Gottingen Color-Isconar 45mm/f2.8 or Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 45mm/f2.8 lens in a 9-speed Prontor-SVS shutter. Some examples of this camera have a central viewfinder, some have it on the users left. In 1959, a brightline finder was added.

The Arette A (possibly a later version) had a 45mm f2.8 Arettar lens in a simpler Vario shutter.

The Arette IB had a light meter; the Arette IC added a coupled rangefinder, and the Arette ID had both meter and rangefinder[1].

The 1959 Arette Automatic S had automatic exposure, with a Prontormat shutter and a Color-Westanar 45mm/f2.8 lens.
