Welcome to RFF, Archivist! Tell about the HAPO-66e...

The HAPO-66e is a 6x6 non-coupled rangefinder made in Germany circa mid 1950s. Made for HAns POrst (HAPO) by Balda I believe it to be a Balda Baldix re-badged.
Not a bad carry around shooter that is best at f8 or smaller.
I have taken some images of it but I am having a devil of a time trying to attach them to a PM for another list memeber. Once I have mastered this move I will send them to you as well if you wish.

Regards
Peter
