Chronology of cameras Echt
The Kraft is one of those camera using the 127 film format, very popular before the second world war.
This is a camera very similar to Letix or Retix by Asahi Kogaku Kogyo, the main difference being a metal case for Kraft while it is in Bakelite for Letix.
On this first version of Kraft we see that the top of the device is identical to that of Letix while it will be slightly reworked on the next version.
Kraft seems to have benefited from different optical groups / shutters
The following couples have been observed:
