Today most cameras have som kind of metal curtains? But earliercameras used some kind of fabric. What kind of material did they use, did all camera makers use the same material. I have heard of nylon type materials. How about those russians, did they use a different material than Japanese cameras?Today's camera curtains are apparently not some kind of metal curtain. For instance even in all of Canon's pro cameras such as the EOS 1V or EOS 6D, the manual states not to point the camera towards the sun with mirror lockup as it can scorch or damage the shutter curtains.In Nikon's development of the F, they specifically selected titanium curtains so that this will not be a problem -> Vol. 10. History of the Nikon cameras and shutter mechanisms (Part I)Interestingly enough, the Canon New F-1 has titanium curtains even though it doesn't have mirror lockup. I am not sure when they transitioned away to a different material.I know that the Nikons F, F2 & F3, Minolta XK and Pentax LX all have titanium curtains.

I believe that all of the vertical travel shutters of the manual focus camera era were all metal.lapa curtains rustenburgRarissime EXAKTA VAREX IIa,visible sur les livres "Exakta Camera1933-1978 page 74 ou "EXAKTA COLLECTION" chapitre 5 page 20 par Clement Aguila et Michel Rouah.Bel aspect.curtains by fionnualaL'appareil fonctionne normalement.les rideaux ont été changés.eclipse blackout curtains bed bath beyondMarqué USSR OCCUP GERMANY.interdesign rialto shower curtain blue greenObjectif Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 2,8/50 N° 4361321Gravé à l’intérieur VX IIa 923168EXAKTA II A NOT MARKED VAREX OR VXExtremely rare EXAKTA VAREX IIa, visible on the books “Exakta Camera1933-1978 page 74 or “EXAKTA COLLECTION” chapter 5 page 20 by Clement Aguila and Michel Rouah. ikea unbleached curtains

The focusing and aperature operate smoothly, there is a little oil on the aperture blades but this has no affect on the preset function.

Someone has ground the screw heads down a bit, they must have been binding on an adapter of some sort. The front coating has a few wipe marks and some speckling but is still in usable condition.

In 1933 (not 1930!), the VP Exakta, taking 4×6.5cm exposures on 127 film, was the first camera designed by Karl Nüchterlein for the Ihagee company. He later developed a smaller model taking 35mm film, after the success of the first cameras for that film format, such as the Leica or Contax. This original Kine Exakta (1936) was the first 35mm SLR; the word Kine derives from its use of 35mm cinema film. At least two variations of the Kine Exakta exist: the earlier one has a round loupe in the hood; later ones have a rectangular loupe. A 6×6cm model was also released c.1938, retaining the trapezoidal shape of the other Exakta models. After World War II the camera series was continued by the East German Ihagee company.

A lot of other accessories were offered for this long-lived camera line. A system of exchangeable viewfinder modules was introduced with the 1950 Varex, and a great variety of finders were developed, including some with built-in meters or with a bayonet for to use a lens as a loupe. In 1951, the Exa line was introduced as a smaller, lighter and cheaper alternative to the Exakta. They had reduced functionality, but they shared the same lens mount and many design features. In 1953, a brief attempt was made at reviving a 6×6cm model, this time with the film vertically running in interchangeable backs, but this second Exakta 66 was also short-lived. The last Exakta models keeping some features of the original 1936 design were the Exakta VX 1000 and VX 500. In 1969 Ihagee was incorporated into Pentacon. The Exakta RTL1000 was based on the Praktica L, LTL and LLC series, with an Exakta bayonet mount instead of the 42mm screw mount. It had interchangeable viewfinder heads; one of these offered TTL metering but this was a fairly crude arrangement.
