I recently bought an Edinex on fleabay, and I really like this type of camera.
So I'm looking for other cameras of a similar type, with these characteristics:
o Uses standard 35mm film
o Small and compact, similar in size to the Edinex
o Scale focus with no rangefinder
o Uncoupled shutter
o Modular - uses (or can use) standard Compur or Prontor shutters
Any recommendations?

The Rollei 35 could be called an evolution of the Wirgin Edinex, both were designed by Heinz Waaske. In fact, the Rollei 35 was actually designed by Waaske for Wirgin, who passed on the design.

Have a look at these: King Regula I, Iloca I and Leidolf Leidox I. They are similar in construction, but it's hard to beat the size of the Edinex.

Adox Adrette and Adrette II are the Edinex marketed under the Adox name.
Kodak Retina I is similar, and coincidentally, uses the same lenses. All these are usually found with a Schneider Xenon or Xenar.

Yep, knew about the Adrettes.
Was looking for a non-folder.
The closest I've found so far is the Konica I and the Kodak 35.
Any others I should look at?

VEB Mimosa or Mimosa II (I really want one of these)
Olympus 35 IVa
Shinano Pigeon 35
Argus AF or A2F
There is a scale focus thread here on RFF too.

Thanks for mentioning those! Those are close to what I was looking for!

Braun made Paxettes with and without rangefinders. But the ones without RF tended to have the cheapo lenses.

I'll second the Paxette. Nothing at all wrong with the lens on the non-rangefinder model.

A close second choice is the Kodak Pony Model C which is a little bigger.

Can't think of anything else with an uncoupled shutter. Even the Vito B has to have film driving the shutter cocking mechanism. Other than that it fits the criteria.
