Chronology of cameras Eta
The Bible of collectors, The McKeown 's, indicates two versions of this camera. The version issued at the start of production has a logo on the film winding knob , while on the "enhanced" version, the winding and rewind knobs are sheathed . However, it is clear that this device having no logo engraved or sheath inserts belongs to a third category.
There are also five versions of the lens: Etar , Etar I Etar II , Etar III and Etar IV . I do not know the reason for this change of reference but as all of these lens have the same maximum aperture of 1:3.5 , it is likely that we face changes in internal components making spare parts incompatible.
Manufacturing experienced a lot of hazards in a post- war Czechoslovakia and full socialist reorganization . After being incorporated into the nationalized company Meopta Prerov , Eta continued manufacturing the Etaretta until planners entrust this manufacturing to Druopta cooperative in Prague.
The " Czech cameras for beginners" book (from which I learned a lot of information used in this article) indicates the strange resemblance of the Japanese unit Monte 35 launched in 1953 by Shinsei Optical Works. Following an exchange in the forum, it appears that the method of manufacture and the dimensions are different.
