En 1953, el Brigadier Juan Ignacio San MartÃn, responsable de la Industria Aeronáutica y Mecánica del Estado IAME, le propuso al presidente Juan Domingo Perón la fabricación de automóviles. Esto para aprovechar las instalaciones metalmecánicas del IAME.
A fin de acortar tiempos de desarrollo se importaron un automóvil y una rural DKW y se adaptó su tecnologÃa. Originalmente el motor era de dos cilindros con baja potencia que resultaba insuficiente para el sedán. Entonces el Ing. Raúl Magallanes propuso un motor de dos tiempos pero con cilindros tipo en "U", solución usada por la fábrica austrÃaca Puch en sus motores de 125 y 250 cc.
El motor de Magallanes era completamente original pero con cuatro cilindros, dos cámaras de combustión y una cilindrada de 800 cc y se lo denominó M-800.
Para la carrocerÃa se inspiraron en el Chevrolet 51 y los diseñadores aeronáuticos del IAME le dieron su particular imagen.
Para los coches sport se aplicó una novÃsima tecnologÃa del plástico reforzado (poliéster) con fibra de vidrio, a fin de bajar el peso. Luego de varios prototipos se definió por una versión de techo duro 2 + 2 del cual se fabricaron sólo 167 unidades antes del cierre compulsivo
Because of … Passions
Last trip to Tokyo was really amazing, 6 days of stay filled with passions and friendships, imagery and life. Because of the love of Moleskine, I met again 2 Japanese friends whom I met 4 years ago and had some interesting intellectual discussions. Because of Traveler's Notebook's aesthetic, I explored the area of Nezu and found inspirations. Because of Mijonju's love of all things camera, I met auto half legend Ryu Itsuki san and his friend Nakamura san and explored the area of Isumi city. Because of my dream job at city'super, I got chances to roam in realms perhaps only a few can do.
A life without passions is a life not worth living for. So where is your passion? Don't be a shadow , don't be a machine, stay hungry, stay foolish.

Production years and serials data for estimating the manufacturing year of this camera is from Ihagee
Ihagee Kamerawerk is well known due to the famous Exacta cameras.
Before WW2 Ihagee produced a vast range of folding cameras with the name Ultrix.
Principal Ultrix models:
*Ultrix (1923) standard first model
*Ultrix-Duplex Nr.1560 (1924)
*Ultrix-Simplex (1924)
*Ultrix-Automat Nr.1250 (1925)
*Auto-Ultrix 6x9cm. Nr.2860 ( 1931)
*Auto-Ultrix mit Plattenrückwand Nr.3860 (1931)
*Auto-Ultrix 4x6.5cm Nr.2850 (1932)
*Zweiformat-Auto-Ultrix Nr.2860 (1933), same catalog Nr. with Auto-Ultrix 6x9cm
*Auto-Ultrix-Junior (1935) Simple version of Zweiformat-Auto-Ultrix Nr.2860
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. more info: Peter's Ihagee page , Sylvain Halgand Collection
Since I'm currently between cameras (sold my 350D and waiting for my 5D) I decided to shoot one film with a 30-year-old Canon AE-1.
This was the other option, a Konica Auto S2. Maybe I´ll try it the next time I shoot film.
