Taken with a Wirgin Edixa Reflex SLR camera dating from the mid to late 1950's fitted with Xenar f2.8 50mm Lens. The camera was found in a bargain bin at a camera fair in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire on Sunday for £5. Film developed in kitchen sink!

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I have an old Edixa somewhere about the place. It was my first SLR. It had a Travenar 50mm lens whose aperture ring jammed up after a few years use. The camera had been around the world twice before I bought it very cheaply. The sheer weight of the camera and the need to carry a separate light meter was what led me to jump at the Olympus OM1 when they appeared on the market.

You could cock the lens on the Edixa without winding on the film to enable double exposures to be made. It was not a feature I made much use of though. The other feature that I liked was that you could remove the prism and use the camera by looking down on the ground glass screen. There was a fold down shield with a magnifying lens on it.

It is a heavy camera and I was really surprised to find one in a bargain bin for a fiver. I love the fact you can change the prism for a waste level finder. Do you know if you have to set the camera on a 25th for the slow speed dial to work correctly or can you set it on any speed?

Edixa Reflex SLR with film developed in kitchen sink! I spilt neat developer all over the kitchen carpet & spent a couple of hours steam cleaning the carpet

You have carpet in your kitchen?

Self-evident location

The white building on the right is the former home of the London Docklands Development Corporation, that kicked off everything that led to Canary Wharf

Old and new: St Botolph's Church by George Dance the Elder (built 1741-1744) with Nicholas Grimshaw's St Botolph's house under construction behind.

A right mix of eras: the platform in the Thames is doing exploration work in the bed of the river in preparation for the Thames Tunnel - a project to build a 20 mile long tunnel to move sewage down river to Becton Treatment works during times of peak rainfall instead of dumping it in the Thames.

The quieter end of Shad Thames, London SE1

I now wish I had taken loads of photographs at the camera fair. When I started photographing the stall's I had an odd feeling that some stall sellers were not happy

That B&W photo of yours with the London taxi is great.

Here is your answer from the Edixa Manual

b) Slow Speeds: To set shutter for slow speeds lift Knob (17) and turn it until the the speed "25" (1/25 of a second) is placed next to the red dot on the inside of Knob (17). Then turn Knob (18) to the selected speed, (for instance 1 second.) IMPORTANT: Before setting slow speeds always set the red "25" next to the red dot on the inside of Knob (17).
