The Edixa Reflex cameras, introduced in 1954, were West Germany's most popular own series of SLR's with focal plane shutter.
Until 1959 four lines of Edixa SLRs were introduced: In 1960 the types B, C and D got the rapid mirror and improved shutter mechanics.
A special feature of this camera series was the exchangeable viewfinder unit.
In 1960 the Model B had a name change and became the Edixa-Mat Flex Model B, the word Reflex being shortened to Flex, and it featured shutter speeds from 1/25 to 1/1000 of a second, the instant return mirror, automatic aperture actuation and interchangeable viewfinders.
