  THE VERSAL*
      The Versal is a combination set of various coordinated accessories which enable the
      Exakta photographer  to do many phases of varied photography.
       Precision made, the parts can be used separately, or in many  different combinations
       with the Exakta. The complete Versal Assembly consists  of a wooden baseboard  with
       metal post arrangement;  a calibrated sliding arm, a bellows extension (provides a con-
      tinuous extension from 35mm  to 220mm), a rotating angle bracket assembly, a trans-
      parency copying attachment,  a  light trap tube  for photomicrography.  A lighting  unit
       with 2-bulb sockets, shades and goose-neck arms can be attached  to the metal  post.
      A new special Extenar 5Omm, F/2.8 lens with countersunk mount  is available for fo-
       cusing with the Versal bellows up to  infinity, and  for photographing  longer objects on
       smaller ratio.

        for actual picture-taking.There is,
       therefore,no possibilityof parallax,
     and you can inspectpictureand color
      composition in  detail, locus with

      the depth-of-fieldas you open or
      stop down the diaphragmand (f/settings). Whenyou releasethe shutter,the image,exactlyas seen in the
       viewfinder,is instantlyconveyedto the film.

  SPECTACULAR NEW ISCO ELECTRIC.EYE LENSES
  FOR EXAKTAI THESE LENSES WORK BOTH WITH
  AND WITHOUT PHOTOELECTRICEXPOSUREMETER.
  ALL HAVE AUTOMATIC DIAPHRAGM.





   Now, for the first time, an Exakta owner can have all the advantagesof an
    electric-eye-with the new lsco-Mat LM lenses! Exakta Camera Company is
    proud to announce a new series of lsco Electric-Eyelsco-Mat lenses for the
    Exakta.These lensesare truly spectacular,for they offer the Exaktaowner the
   advantagesof an Electric-Eyephotoelectriccell exposure meter on the Exakta.
   The Electric-EyeExposureMeter is attached to the lens, therefore the Exakta
    can be used with and without the photoelectricexposure meter device. lt is
     just as6asy to take the exposure meter off and by doing this you have a con'
    ventional lens to work with-normal, wide angle or telephoto. You will enjoy
    owning these dual-purposeultra versatile lenses because they provide for a
   new perspectivein photographyand offer many unusual exciting possibilities.
     All of the new lsco-MatLM Electric-Eyelenseshave an instant-reopenautomatic
                                             "detachable" photoelectricex'    diaphragm that is cross-coupledto an lsco
    posure meter which fit into a track on top of the lens. When the lsco-Mat LM
    lens with photoelectricexposure meter attached, is pointed at the subject to
    be photographed,a needle in the exposure meter window moves to a marker.
   The camera owner then lines up a second needle to the first, and this sets the
    lens diaphragm opening automaticallyfor the correct exposure!

lsco-Mat LM Electric-Eyelenses also boast two features that make them the
most unusual-the first is that the diaphragmstop is coupledto a numerical
shutter speed setting. Therefore, you can either choose your shutter speed
setting in advance or you can select the diaphragm stop you want for picture-
taking. The second feature is two visibledepth of field scale bands that change
as you move the lens diaphragmring, from one apertureto another.Only the
area that will be needle-sharpbecomesvisiblyapparent to the Exaktaowner
at a glance!
At present there are three lsco-Mat LM Electric-Eyelenses for the Exakta.
They are the F1.9, 50mm lsco-MatLM Normal lens with instant-reopenauto-
matic diaphragm,the F2.8, 35mm lsco-MatLM Wide Angle lens with instant'
reopen diaphragm and the F3.5, 135mm lsco-Mat LM Telephotolens with
instant-reopenautomatic diaphragm.Since only one photoelectricexposure
meter is required for all three lenses,you do not require additionalmeters
when you buy the wide angle and telephotolensesas the meter comes with
the normal Fl.9, 5Omm Automaticlsco-MatLM lens.
lsco-Mat LM Electric-Eyelenses assure perfect picture exposure with all films
as the meter takes in a film speed range from ASA 12 to ASA 600. The lsco-Mat
LM Electric.Eyemechanism adjusts itself to every lighting condition . . . posi-
tively, instantly,automatically.There is no need for complicatedfiguring, lens
settings or complex shutter manipulations.The lsco-Mat LM lens sensitive
            "reads"                   every scene correctly and automatically-averageslightElectric Eye
and dark areas . . . then moves into position dependingon the type of film
loaded in the camera. All you do is line up the needlesin the window-and,
you may chooseany combinationof diaphragmstop and shutter speed!There-
fore, with an lsco-MatLM lens on your Exakta,you qvillhave more time to com-
pose your picture and you'll have complete camera control at all times.
