There are various lens/shutter combinations of the Edinex II. Some cameras have hinged back for easy loading. Some cheaper versions have fixed lens.
Early Edinex was the same with Adox Adrette. Some models were sold in the USA as Midget Marvel, and Candid Midget altough not marked as such. Edinex cameras present some identification problems because most do not bear any model name on the camera, but only in catalogs and advertising.The issue is further muddied by the use of different model designations for the same camera by different advertisers. In addition the adds use various names for Edinex II, like Edinex, Edinex I, Edinex-S.
It is best to ID of your camera that searching the McKeown's 12.ed., 2005, pp.1001-1002.

the Jena Pancolar came with this camera but,
This lens is Automatic Spring Blende type and it fits and focuses on this camera but its diafragm does not auto-work properly on FX-A model Praktinas, it is made for Praktina IIA which its internal diapfragm control pin moves bacward when the shutter depressed and then moves forward for full aperture viewing, a fully automatic feature.
FX-A models need the Semi-automatic Spring Blende type of lenses that diaphragm closes to the setting automatically when the shutter release is depressed that the internal pin in the body moves forward and must be reloaded manually to full aperture after each exposure with a special lever.
My solution: simply removal the pin on the lens !..
The Praktina was a 35mm system-SLR specialy developed for the international markets and professional use. Praktina has serious historical importance and it is a milestone in the development of the 35mm SLR.
Praktinas are the first cameras of full interchangeability that have interchangeable lenses from 35 to 500mm, viewfinders and many accessories including motor drive.
Praktinas were the first SLR in the camera's world that have the internal diaphragm control.
There are various brand names for the export Praktinas such as Corbina, Hexacon Supreme and Porst reflex.
The lenses made for export, were marked from 1954 with different engravings.
The brand name Carl Zeiss Jena is replaced by C.Z. Jena or Jena or aus Jena.
The lens names Biotar, Biometar, Sonnar, Tessar, Triotar were replaced by the letter B, Bm, S, T, Tr.

For Nikon F cameras the lenses 50mm f2 Auto S Nikkor and later 50mm f1.4 Auto Nikkor-S was standart.
Non-AI lenses fit on the Nikon F, early F2, Nikkormat FT, FTN, FT2, EL and ELW, and the Nikkorex F. They can be used without meter coupling on the earliest AI camera bodies such as the FM and FE, but they must not be mounted on later ones such as the FM2, as it is possible to damage the camera body.
Nikon brought semi-automatic aperture indexing (SAI) from the Nikkormat FTN into the professional F with the FTN finder.
The F is the first member of the long line of Nikon F-series professional level 35 mm SLRs that began 1959 and followed each other in a sort of dynastic succession as the top-of-the-line Nikon camera. The other members were the F2,F3,F4,F5 and F6 (2004–present).
The F-series do not share any major components.
All Nikon professional F-series SLRs are full system cameras. This means that each camera body serves as only a modular hub.

A short history of Contax G series:
In 1994, Contax introduced an apparent oddity that a new line of interchangeable-lens rangefinder cameras that did not use the established Leica-M or Leica-screw lens mounts. The new camera, the Contax G1, used the "G" mount, an electronic autofocus mount.
The Contax G is the world's most advanced 35mm rangefinder camera system. It was a rich man's camera, that costs thousands of 1990s dollars.
With seven interchangeable lens, AF rangefinder camera establishes a new product class and combines the flexibility of an SLR camera with the portability and ease of use of a compact camera. The lenses made by Kyocera under license from Carl Zeiss and their performance is naturally superb.
In 2005, Kyocera announced that it would cease all activity related to the manufacture of Contax cameras.

The titanium colour finish provides integration with the G system while providing rugged construction and an elegant look.
The camera CPU is aware of a flash unit and controls the duration of the flash. The shutter and flash will be synchronized at any shutter speed from Bulb to the maximum shutter speed. Automatic flash is the mode used when a Contax TTL compatible flash is connected to the camera’s hot shoe and the flash is turned on.
The camera’s CPU controls the contribution of the flash’s light to the overall exposure.
The camera’s CPU restricts shutters speeds for automatic flash to 1/60 to 1/100 for the G1.

The manufacturing and printing of textiles formed the basis of the industrial revolution in Catalunya. Beyond the actual fabric, it is the machinery of its production and the people who operated it—especially women—that underpins Regina Giménez’s presentation of her graphic works as part of the Compositions programme. Taking place in one of the buildings that comprises Can Trinxet, a former textile factory complex that once employed the largest workforce in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Giménez’s intervention comprises painted compositions that are derived from schematic representations of machines and their components. Her abstractions have been applied on transparent panels that lean against a scarred factory wall, becoming devices that reanimate the marks and memories embedded in the building. An accompanying poster evokes the clamour that once would have filled the workshop in typographic form. Giménez has titled her project “La Constancia” (2016) in tribute to the labor union that called a general strike in 1913 to protest the conditions of the female and child workers who undertook the textile industry’s most monotonous and arduous tasks. – Latitudes
Regina Giménez (Barcelona, 1966) has exhibited individually at: ‘Architecture d’aujourd’hui’, The Green Parrot, Barcelona (2015); ‘Art de foc art de badoc’, Nadala 2015 Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (2015); ‘Simbols Convencionals’, Museu d’Art Modern de Tarragona (2012). She has recently participated in the following group shows: Biennal de Valls, Tarragona (2015); ‘Modernitat Amagada’, Casa Capell, Mataró (2013); ‘La casa de la playa’ para ‘Cas de estudi’, Can Felipa, Barcelona (2013).
Giménez is represented by Ana Mas Projects, L’Hospitalet/San Juan (Puerto Rico) and by Galería Miquel Alzueta, Barcelona.
––
“La Constancia” (2016) was commissioned for the second edition of the Barcelona Gallery Weekend (29 September–2 October 2016) as part of the “Composiciones” programme.
Curated by Latitudes for the second time (see 2015 edition), the project further explores Barcelona as a rich fabric of the historic and the contemporary, the unfamiliar and the conspicuous. Resisting an overall theme, and instead developing from the artists’ responses to the specificity of each context—people as well as places—the five art projects form a temporary thread that links evocative locations and public space, running parallel to the Weekend’s exhibitions in galleries and museums.
In its second edition, "Composiciones" presents interventions by Lúa Coderch (Club Billar Barcelona); Regina Giménez (Antigua Fábrica de Can Trinxet, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat); Lola Lasurt (Biblioteca Pública Arús); Robert Llimós (connecting all the participating galleries) and Wilfredo Prieto (Unitat Muntada de la Guàrdia Urbana de Barcelona). Their projects offer moments of intermission, intimacy and bewilderment throughout the weekend, highlighting some lesser-known aspects of the city’s cultural heritage and municipal life.

Justice League: Battle for Metropolis, a 4D Dark Ride manufactured by Sally Corporation, debuted at Six Flags Great Adventure Movietown in 2017. Set in a 22,000-square foot Hall of Justice, visitors armed with laser stu blasters travel through a series of scenes around Metropolis, interacting with life-like animatronic characters, 3D animated images, and 4D experiences like fire and fog to save their favorite Super Heroes from the evil villains.
Six Flags Great Adventure, located in Jackson, New Jersey, first opened as Great Adventure on July 1, 1974 under the direction of Warner LeRoy. Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, more commonly known as Six Flags or as Six Flags Theme Parks, founded in 161 by Angus G. Wynne, acquired the park in 1977. The 160-acre amusement park is part of the 510 acre Great Adventure and Safari Park complex, which is the second largest theme park in the world behind Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I took this image in Huntsville, AL., during a tour in/from the US Space & Rocket Centre (I think - looking at the site on GoogleEarth I note there appears to be no connection between the Centre and the adjacent Redstone Arsenal where I would expect such activities to take place). Regrettably I did not make a note of what was being constructed! - but it looks like it might have been a module for the International Space Station.
What I find fascinating about this shot is that everyone seems to be working in clean-room conditions - and yet here were us space tourists in our ordinary outdoor clothing, standing in an overview position inside the room (I don't remember anything like a screen or plexiglas wall between us and what you can see above, although there may have been...).
From a different angle of a shot I posted earlier in the week. Scanned from a negative.
Weir, Thomas R. [Manufacturing] [map]. 1:1,837,440. In: Thomas R. Weir. Economic Atlas of Manitoba. Winnipeg: Manitoba Dept. of Industry and Commerce, 1960, pate 34.
In 1960 the compilers of the Economic Atlas of Manitoba brought together (for the first time), the information available on the distribution of manufacturing in Manitoba and produced a detailed types of manufacturing map. Many of the plants are ubiquitous, especially those related to food processing. Printing is also widespread. Other industries are concentrated in a few areas, such as paper products at Pine Falls, iron and steel at Selkirk, and the oil refinery at Brandon. The manufacture of clothing is surprisingly widespread because Winnipeg firms have established branch plants in nearby towns where plant and labour costs are lower.
(Warkentin and Ruggles. Historical Atlas of Manitoba. map 291, p. 540)
Note: shows -Types of Manufacturing for all towns of 200 population and more – Winnipeg excepted. Manufacturing types include, lumber and wood products, paper products, clothing, printing, stone and clay, refinery, iron and steel, transport equipment, leather, bakery dairy and meat products, poultry, flour and feed, cannery, cold storage. Circles indicate value of retail trade in millions of dollars (1957) -Employment in Manufacturing for all towns of 1000 population and more – Winnipeg excepted. Products include, food and beverage, petroleum and oil processing, wood, non metallic minerals, electrical and electronic, grain milling, iron and steel, paper, printing and publishing, textiles and apparel and metal smelting

Lens dating: for C and C T* lenses: there should be a 3-digit or 4-digit number in red lettering in the lens mount .This is the manufacturing date code. The last two digits are the month. The first one or two digits are the year. Add this to 1957.
In mine lens the number is 1102 = February 1968
Body and lens dating as to Karen Nakamura
There are too many accessories for the EL cameras.
EL/M is a modified version of the EL, "M" means modified, "EL" electric.
Hasselblad EL is a system camera this means that almost everything is interchangeable: lens, prism/finder, and film back.
This body is in V-system 500 series, uses only leaf-shutter lenses. There are various Carl Zeiss made C, CB, CFi/CFE series as Distagon, Planar, Biogon, Sonnar type lenses, with various focal lenghts, with Compur shutter for 500 series.
Hasselblad was the company that first developed the professional medium format modular SLR.
Perhaps the most famous use of the Hasselblad camera was during the Apollo program missions when man first landed on the Moon. Almost all of the still photographs taken during these missions used modified Hasselblad cameras.
Hasselblad's traditional V-System cameras remain widely used by professional and serious amateur photographers. One reason is a reputation for long service life and quality of available lenses.
A brief info for Hasselblad EL Series
In 1964 Hasselblad started production of a motorized camera, the 500 EL. Apart from the housing that incorporates the motor drive and the NiCd-batteries this camera is similar in appearance and operation to the Hasselblad 500 C and uses the same magazines, lenses and viewfinders. The EL models:
500 EL 1964–70
500 EL/M 1971–84, introduced user-interchangeable screen,
500 ELX 1984–88, introduced TTL-flash sensor and larger non-vignetting mirror,
553 ELX introduced new internal light-absorbing coating and use of AA-batteries,
555 ELD 1998–2006, introduced new mirror mechanics and electronic contacts for communication with digital backs.

Reflex S is a major redesign of the original Retina Reflex. Retina Reflex S offered with various lenses. Schneider and Rodenstock made 28mm to 200mm lenses. Kodak Retina IIIc lenses are competible with Kodak Reflex S. The reverse is partially possible.
These cameras are expensive to repair, and most repairmen are reluctant to touch them.
The Retina Reflex S originally sold for $235 USD, (app. $1670 USD in 2007).

Werra is the name of a small river close to the Eisfeld factory.
The cameras offer a high degree of control with a minimum number of levers, knobs or rings. Werras were minimalist designed cameras. Nearly all the controls are located in rings around the lens. Werras were known as Volkskamera also.
Werra was an only and unique camera that it was developed and released by a lens manufacturer, Carl-Zeiss Jena, not by Zeiss-Ikon of the West Germany.
Lenses marked Carl Zeiss Jena, only Jena or T depending of the period they were made or the target markets.
The Werra series was discontinued in 1966 after Carl Zeiss Jena was assimilated by VEB Pentacon in 1964.
