Exa, Version 1. #224525
My higher Exa body number is 224.679, inside the range identified by A&R (200.000 -
235.000). This version has two bipolar flash sockets, M and X, for two different
synchronizations, the first one at all speeds, the second one for electronic flash. Please
look at the front plate: on the left you can see the flash sockets, on the centre the
front plate, on the right the shutter release button. In these three elements are all the
identification factors of this camera: it is the only one to have the two bipolar flash
sockets, so you can read the M and the X on the bottom of the front plate.

And now a surprise: the transitional Exa version 1-2, with the shutter release safety
cover. The body number is close to the end of the known range: 232498.

And now (again) I wish to add this camera to my collection because of
many reasons. The last is that the camera is near mint and the leather case too. What
more? The body number is 210399.
