diagrams may make the Ektra seem complicated to those unfamiliar with precision cameras, but the advanced photographer will realize at once that it is this combination of features and controls that make the Ektra the world's most distinguished camera.

However, in general picture making, the Ektra user simply checks his focus with the range finder, sets his shutter speed and lens aperture, and shoots. Two strokes of the dual-purpose lever automatically advance the film and wind the shutter, and the Ektra is ready for the next picture. The many other features are available for use as required.
