Braun Super II

[colyn]

I picked this camera up a couple of years ago. It uses 39mm Leica thread mount lens but the Leica lens have a different register so they won't work on it.

Wow, looks like a very beautifull set. But I don't understand why any manufacturer would call a camera 'super'. Unless it really isn't... Since you have owned it for several years, did you take any pictures with it?

Colyn: How do you find the results from the lenses? I ask because I have been quite impressed by the Steinheil on my Tower 51. Well, at least when I'm not shooting into the sun ... it doesn't control flare well at all. But it is a very sharp lens, and my first roll of b&w C41 was pretty impressive.

The Super is just so funky-looking (certainly won't win a beauty contest) that if I were to find a kit in good ocndition I'd probably succumb.

I haven't used it much lately but I did run several rolls through it after buying it.
Quality is excellent with all 3 lens..

Quality from all 3 lens is excellent. The 85mm produced some outstanding portraits. I use a hood to control flare though.

This camera will fit in the palm of your hand. That's how small it is.
