Chronology of cameras Wirgin
Traduction de Pierre Yves Petit.
Cosmetically similar to the Edixa Kadett, the difference is found inside the body: the Edixa-Mat Kadett has an instant return mirror that prevents the black-out after shutter is fired, whereas with the Edixa Kadett, the user has to cock the shutter in order for the mirror to go back down.
Other features are similar:
- shutter release on the front plate, with a lock
- speeds ranging to 1/30 to 1/500th plus B
- film reminder on the rewinding knob
- cocking lever with film counter (manual zeroing)
- two flash synch: one for flash bulbs, the other one for electronic flash – you got to plug the flash in the right synch!
Two finders were available: a prism one (like current reflex), or a waist-level viewfinder, where the image is left/right reversed (just like TLRs). The lens mount is 42 screwmount, that offered the widest range of focal lengths, brands… Happy days!
