History
Too many varieties of lenses and shutters were used on Ultrix series. The shutters usually from Gauthier, like the Ibsor, Vario, Pronto and Prontor. The lenses labelled Ihagee Anastigmat. But Ihagee never made any lenses of their own, they were all bought from several lens makers. It is possible that the glasses may have been mounted by Ihagee.
Ihagee folders seem to have died with the WW2 and have been forgotten, even among Exakta collectors.

Notes and References
- ↑ The known serial numbers for Zweiformat-Auto-Ultrix Nr.2860 are between 406720 - 591630
- ↑ Production years and serials data for estimating the manufacturing year of this camera is as to Ihagee
- ↑ The writing of Ihagee looks like Jhagee because it is written with an old German capital letter "I" which resembles a "J", pronounced Ihagee, and later changed with the new form of the "I" (in 1937?)
