My first color film with my Wirgin Edixa-Mat Reflex Mod D-L year 1965, June 11-12, 2014, Lyon, France.
The film was a Silberra Color 50 given for free by "Ateliers de Marinette", my main analog film provider. After processing, the four first frames and the last 7 ones were found not useable due to uncontrolled light exposure/leaks likely during the film preparation or its loading in the 135 cartridge.
The Edixa-Xenar lens equipped with a coated Hoya HMC Skylight (1B) screw-on 49mm protective filter plus a generic cylindrical metal shade hood. Expositions were determined for 50 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.
The weather was cloudy June 11 and sunny on June 12. I used exposition times of 1/1000s to 1/30s were used from the full aperture aperture to f/9.

After exposure, the film was processed using the Kodak C-41 protocol by a local lab service leading a very dense negative views with high contrasts on a brownish base mask.
The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. For this series, I used the CineStill light source CS-lite a 9200 K temperature color. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivo Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
The German Edixa SLR’s are captivating camera’s constructed by Wirgin Kamerawerke, Wiesbaden, from 1954 to 1968 in various versions. Edixa Reflex was designed by Heinz Waaske (1924 – 1995) a German camera designer who also invented other famous camera’s as the Edixa 16 and the Rollei 35.
My Edixa-Mat Reflex Mod D-L is a late model 1965. The model D-L was the top of the line of Edixa-mat equipped with different advanced functions that look like some of my Ihagee Exakta Varex, in particular a special horology mechanism giving self-shutter release tunable from 9 to 2s that could be converted also for long-exposures. Similarly to the Exakta Varex,the shutter has two exposition time registers from 1/30 to 1/1000s for the regular times and a switchable second register giving 1/8 to 1s. The Wirgin Edixa-mat Reflex has as well an interchangeable finders with a waist-level finder with loup and the prism finder. This Edixa series has the automatic mirror flip-back after release. It of course fully mechanical without built-in light metering system.
The camera body has the common M42 lens screw mount and operates the M42 lenses with automatic preselection diaphragm (or manual lenses too). I got the camera with likely its original normal lens conceived for the Edixa by Schneider-Kreuznach in Götingen, Germany, called Edixa-Xenar 1:2.8 f=50mm. The Xenar lens series are derived from the Zeiss Tessar formula with 4 lenses in 3 groups. Its serial number indicates that the lens was manufactured after September 1964 or current year 1965. The lens has a special depth-of-field visual indicator under a transparent ring varying according the aperture value.
I also got both the waist-level finder and the prism finder as well, two shutter-release adaptors for the use of standard cable release, and two accessories or flash shoes adaptation to the prism finder. The lot also included a Ihagee set of extension rings for Exakta's that joined my Varex IIa set.

After several months, my local repair shop gave up to repair my first exemplary of Leningrad camera. I got that GOMZ Leningrad for less than the price of the lens (50€) a year ago (February 24, 2024, flic.kr/s/aHBqjBftyP) at the monthly collector meeting in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure, near Lyon, France. I looked then again for a working one.
Leningrad’s are fascinating Russian range-finder 35mm camera’s produced in Leningrad (USSR) / Saint-Petersburg, from 1956 to 1968 at about 76.000 units. It is not really a rare camera but appears only from time-to-time in the classical collector’s networks.
The Leningrad camera project was developed by GOMZ company (ГОМЗ, Государственный оптико-механический завод, Ленинград = Gosularstvennyi Optiko-Mekhanicheskii Zavod =State Optical-Mechanical Factory), Leningrad, USSR. The Leningrad ’s were constructed to a very high degree of precision and likely the most advanced rangefinder ever made at that time in Russia. At the 1958 World Exposition in Brussels, the Leningrad was awarded the "Grand Prix de Bruxelles”. Modified Leningrads were also used in the Soviet space program. In addition to a complex parallax-compensated multi-focal (for 3.5, 5, 8.5 and 13.5cm) collimated system, the camera has a built-in spring-powered mechanical motor for an automated film advance after each view taken. The Leningrad monts the 39mm Leica-type thread lenses, especially of the Jupiter series of lens derived of classical Carl Zeiss lenses designed for the Contax (Biogon 3.5cm and Sonnar’s 5, 8.5 and 13.5cm).
In 1965, GOMZ became LOMO ( ЛОМО, Ленинградское oптико-механическое oбъединение (Leningradskoïe Optiko-Mekhanitcheskoïe Obiedinienie) that is still existing, producing instrumental optical devices (www.lomo.ru).
On eBay, I focused on a LOMO Leningrad year 1965 in working condition but without the original film plate. I got the camera for 130€ including the leather bag and a standard lens Jupiter-8 1:2 f=5cm. The seller adapted cleanly a different film plate that looked to work, but my idea was to use the camera back of my faulty Leningrad. This film plate may a precision glass plate special designed for optimum film transport and optical planarity. I received my new Leningrad on January 31, 2025 in good condition.
After a very careful inspection and a detailled cleaning, I decided to make a test film using a FOMAPAN 200 black-and-white film. On the Leningrad it is said that there is absolutely no way to check the correct film advance during the shooting session. The rewind should not be up since the mechanical forces induced would be too high for the spring-powered spooling barrel. The film should be also in a quality not too tight film cartridge and should be checked before use. This stressful machine should be manipulated with maximum care when not familiar with it.
For all the frames, the Jupiter lens was fitted with a Hoya HMC anti-UV filter (40.5mm). The light metering was done for 160 ISO using my external light meter Minolta Autometer III with the 10° viewer for selective metering privileging the shadows areas or the integrating opale dome for incident light metering. The weather was a bit cold (4°C) covered leading to very flat and low-contrast scene outdoor.

By safety (I don’t what’s happening when the end-of-film blocks the advance), I stopped the session at the frame 35. What is more, for each new views, the Leningrad barrel spool does a fixed half turn. This induces a growing interspace gap as the film advances. Finally, the film was rewound normally and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 5min30 at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
