The '''Vega''' cameras are basic [[35mm]] [[viewfinder camera]]s made by [[Druopta]] in Prague, at that time in Czechoslovakia.
* '''Vega I''':  Druoptar 50mm f4.5 collapsible lens, Druo shutter, 1/10-1/200s 
* '''Vega II''':  c.1949-51, Druoptar 50mm f4.5 collapsible lens, Etaxa or Chrontax shutter, 1/10-1/200s
* '''Vega III''': c.1957-8, as Vega II, but with  Druoptar or Etar f3.5 lens, Vebur or Chrontax [[flash sync|synchronised]] shutter, accessory shoe.  Later version in maroon leatherette, Metax 1-1/400s shutter.<ref>McKeown lists Druoptar f4.5 in Etaxa on II and Druptar f3.5 in Crontax on III, plus Etar f3.5 in Metax on III/maroon, but there are other combinations observed, e.g. picture above, [http://www.flickr.com/photos/mangio75/2404104698/  on flickr, by Angelo Mangione] and III with Druoptar in Etaxa on [http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/page_standard.php?id_appareil=10749 Sylvain Halgand's]</ref>
