I was offered a German Edinex (Wirgin) 35mm camera with a 2.0/50mm Rodenstock Heligon lens and 1-1/500 Compur shutter today. Very compact and neat camera with a Leica M like back and film loading system.


A similar camera is pictured here (but with a simpler lens and shutter): http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Edinex I really like the shape wrapping around the film spools. Why did not more companies adopt that?

Anyone know more about this camera?  Is it worth $45?
