The Kristall 2a is similar
to the 2s,. with the following differences:
•The top speed on the 2a is 1000 (500
on the 2s).
•The
shutter speed dials are different. On the 2s there is a bottom flange engraved
with the speeds (engraved on the top on the 2a)
•There is a flash socket mounted flush on the front of the 2s. The 2a was not generally synchronized, although some late models do have a projecting flash socket on the front.
The pictured camera is a synchronized 2a.
