Edinex

Edinex with Steinheil Culminar lens

The Edinex viewfinder cameras for 35mm film were made by Gebr. Wirgin in Wiesbaden. The first models had been introduced in 1927. In 1934 a variant for Adox was made, the Adox Adrette.

The Edinex shown on the red background images has been made in 1952 and has a Prontor four speed shutter and a 1:2.8/42mm Steinheil Culminar lens with an aperture ring and a focusing ring with feet-scale combined with depth-of-field scale.

The older variants of the camera are even more handsome, the prewar Edinex, and the Edinex, the Edinex I, the Edinex II and the Edinex III which were made from 1949 to 1952. The Edinex III included a coupled rangefinder.
