"Straight Arm"

[James S]

I am new to collecting EKIIs and I must say, this forum is very valuable. My eye isn't as discerning, (yet) as others here, to be able to pic up on the finite details on the EKIIs to be able to classify them. I know I'll get better with age and guidance.
I recently saw an EKII on estand tha was labeled as a "straight arm" variant. I, for the life of me, couldn't tell a difference between that one and others. Could someone please tell me what makes a "straight arm" a straight arm. Pictures and descriptions would help tremendously.



Thanks all for helping a new collector.

Hi James

The 'straight arm' variant lacks the curvature in the arms of other EK's.

It looks similar to the Schinkel B variant

Here is my example :
