The unique Junior C,
a never heard camera
Original Junior
leatherette, C back, numbered distance ring..
Everyone of us knows the
Exakta Junior, few of us knows the Ihagee Junior, but nobody knows the

this is impossible (my opinion: this means that
the lens was made expressly for this camera). |

This camera is a Junior, version 2, as
you can see on Aguila &
Rouah book. The back is the same
of the C. The ring has the same body
number, and the engraving is like
that of other Cs I own.
