Selling a really nice 80 year old camera that works great. This has a focal plane shutter curtain and it seems accurate to me. The viewfinder is nice and clear, very usable, all controls work well. The camera comes with 2 interchangeable lenses, I think that's all it ever had, but you would have to look a long while to find one of these with both lenses. The standard lens is a 75mm Tessar, which is pretty clear, no scratches, very nice. The telephoto lens is a 140mm f6.3 and it is also in great condition with no scratches, a little light haze but I am very sure if you got inside it would end up crystal clear, very nice lens. This set also comes with a red and yellow filter, the yellow has some separation, the red is excellent, and it comes with 2 close-up lenses of different value, remember this is through the lens SLR camera so you'll still be able to focus. The only issues with the camera are some Zeiss bumps, easily cleaned up, and it looks to me like someone lost the winder knob and replaced it with a piece of metal, it still winds, in fact the metal wing works really well. The new owner can buy a parts camera to get another knob if they want.
This set is quite rare, in good working condition like this, they easily sell for over $300.00, with the extra lens and with both lenses being in this condition they would sell for well over $400.00. I will consider offers but hoping to get $350.00 for this set.
