Here's a website all about them: http://preview.tinyurl.com/bpxj49 For some unknown reason, the pictures don't all appear on my screen. If the Prominent has a large viewfinder window it's a Prominent II, if the viewfinder and rangefinder windows are small and almost equal in size (one square and the other round) it's a Prominent I. The lenses for them are almost all excellent and there used to be an enormous range of accessories. If you were thinking of collecting, it's going to be a long-term prospect :-) If it's in working order, it's an excellent camera to use. The USSR Occupied Exa's are not particularly rare, and go for between 60 and 100 Euros here in Germany. If you can get used to how it works, it's also fun to shoot with.
