GrumpyTim | Wirgin Edixa Reflex - Still Shooting Black & White Film in 2023 @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
In this video we're taking a look at an Edixa Reflex camera, made by Wirgin in Wiesbaden, Germany somewhere around 1956. Details of exactly which model my camera is appears to be a bit sketchy - it might be a Model II, or a Model A, but the original instruction manual just says "Edixa Reflex", so maybe it was the first generation and didn't have any other model number.
The Edixa Reflex features a removable viewfinder, giving the choice of a prism or a waist level viewfinder as seen on my example. The lens mount is the pretty common M42 screw mount, my example being fitted with a 50mm Steinheil Munchen Cassar S f2.8
There were a few repairs to do on this camera when I first got it - I'll briefly cover these, but this isn't a repair video as such.
Film used in the Edixa: Ilford FP4 125 ISO
