Additional Info regarding the IIIR

1953 saw the introduction of the last German-made version of the Makina, known as the Makina IIIR.

The Makina IIIR has a synchro contact on the bottom right corner of the front plate that was also present on late units of the Makina III

(maybe production of Makina III and Makina IIIR co-existed) and, most notably, a shutter with speeds up to 1/400 second.
