I love German cameras from the 50's and 60's... all that chunky metal construction. 😀

Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/16 - no film through this one yet, was my mother's so it definitely worked at one time!

My other Voigtländer (VF-101) was made in Singapore, so it doesn't count. 😉

I particularly like the various ways to hold the Contax, pictured on the book 😀

Picked up by a local camera dealer, at a flea market in Stuttgart. It belonged to a street portrait photographer. Shown with the 150mm F2.8 Schneider Xenotar. Speed Demon of a lens.

My old Voigtlaeder Brillant has TTL metering; OK, using an extinction meter that clips to the VF lens but that counts as it's a TLR.

Here's what you see through the VF. Note that the meter rotates with the lens as it focusses.

Not quite right as all I could see was the dot number 8 meaning 1/25th at f/3.5 and heaven only knows what film speed as this is a 1938 camera. About 18/10 DIN, perhaps, but the notes in German are beyond me...

Regards, David

Wow Iwould love to find the original meter for my Brillant S!

Hi,

I'll rub salt into the wound, there were three of them on ebay and all had meters and filters in the compartment. I guessed they'd fight over the first one and, perhaps, leave the third one alone. For once I was right and got it on the opening bid with no one else interested. Then some else gave me a Helicar version...

Sorry about that. David

PS This is what the meter thing looks like, just in case you see one and then you can buy it without any opposition as no one else will know what it is.

But beware, I might ask for a translation of the exposure table...

A translation of the exposure table should be possible for me with my poor school english.
Restoration? I did mine by my self, but there ohnly the long times had been sticky and this problem could be solved with a bit of lighter fluid - changeing the mirror was an other thing which had to be done. Got a new mirror from a very nice us guy on flickr.

Every thing else on mine was like new, so they both had film inside and the "Compur Rapid" one has a Fuji Reala 100 inside at the moment.

Are you going to use it?
These little plate folders are so much fun to use!
