I had my Perkeo II overhauled a year and some ago. And while I tested it in hand, I didn't run a roll of film through it until a month or so ago. When I did, it jammed when I tried to advanced the film from frame 1 to frame 2. So I brought it back to my camera technician buddy. We always have this arrangement: he says he'll be able to give it to me in a week, I set a calendar appointment to call him in three. It usually works out right on the money; it did this time too.
I picked up the camera yesterday ... "My fault. When I cleaned the viewfinder, I got the double-exposure interlock pieces in the wrong order. ..." I have no problem with that, we all make mistakes. No charge and it's all back to normal now, good as new.
Took it on my walk this morning. It's a wonderfully small camera for a 6x6. I processed the film with the Agfa Rondinax-60 processing tank ... Everything in full daylight on the kitchen counter, no need for even a changing bag. Amazing how well it works.
Film is drying in the shower stall now. Exposures look good. Scans later...

Great camera. Medium format in your pocket.

the little Perkeo. A wonder. Looking forward to the scans.

Thank you, but I have an original case in very nice condition.
This morning's film is just about dry. Time to fire up the scanner...

I haven't used mine in a while, but I just bought a bunch of NOS B+W 32mm filters (red, green, UV, and skylight) to go with the Voigtländer deep yellow and orange I already had, so I think it's high time I got it out again and did some shooting.

A quartet of photos from yesterdays Perkeo outing.
All: Voigtländer Perkeo II, Tri-X
Processed in a Rondinax-60 daylight developing tank.
Scanned by using a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 pre-AI fitted to the Leica M-P, using a Beseler 23C 6x6 negative carrier as a mask on a flat panel light box. Inversion and adjustment in Lightroom 6.1.
enjoy, G
