Thanks! It's a lovely camera and quite ergonomic.

I suppose it's not technically a folder, but close enough!
Everything seems to work, though while accurate, the rangefinder patch is a bit faint. Once I work out how to get the top off I'll replace the rangefinder's half-silvered mirror.
First roll of film through it was some expired TriX, which was challenging as the frame numbers were really hard to see through the red window. The second roll, Fomapan 100, had much clearer frame numbers. The attached image is from that roll.

Nice... saw that for sale and was tempted. How do you like it?

It's really nice actually, handles a bit like a Super Fujica-6. Lighter than the Iskra or Certo 6, but heavier than the Fujica. Unlike those though, it's only a red window for film advance, likely made necessary due to its dual format capability.

Ditto my Perkeo I, with the same Color Skopar 80/3.5 lens and the all-speeds shutter like yours.
It seems that combination of lens and shutter was quite an expensive upgrade in its time. Most Perkeos I've seen have the cheaper 3-element Vaskar lens, which compares to a Tessar or a Xenar as against a Planar or a Xenotar.
I prefer the I to the II (have owned both in my time) as mine, while older, lacks the double exposure prevention lock which tends to break down and requires an extensive repair.
Next year I will do an extensive tour (3-4 months) of SE Asian countries I've not been to for many decades - Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Japan. Along with one small digital kit will be my Perkeo, with one lens hood and a yellow-green Voigtlander filter I found for 50 cents in a charity shop rejects box. I have about 50 rolls of expired B&W film at home and my project for that journey is to use up that film. I'm hoping to get it processed as I go, which may prove to be an interesting challenge...
