Sold Voigtlander Perkeo II

Alex Varas · Oct 13, 2024

For sale this nice Voigtlander Perkeo II just serviced, shutter went through CLA, lens adjusted and camera tested with film, winding works well and spacing was good. Lens is perfect, no imperfections at all. Included leather carry case in good shape, not the strap, a bit dry so careful with it.
Scale distance is in FEET!

250 euro paypaled and shipped to EU, Canada and USA.

Any questions please let me know.
Thank you for looking!

This is the first MF camera I bought – the rendering makes it a keeper. GLWS.

Bellows are original, no light leaks during inspection or during the shooting.

I have faith and respect in your work and integrity. My only issue is that this old camera has it's original bellows and at any time may fail , especially if I start using the camera .

Do you know how much it costs to have a new bellows?

I have one of these as well, and believe me, there's no reason to think the bellows on this camera is going to "fail" anytime soon. These typically have at least another 50 years left in them, as long as they haven't been abused. Installing a new bellows is only going to make the person selling new bellows happy.

Like Keith, I have a Perkeo ll....with original bellows.
Brilliant, though simple camera, that produces results far about it's pay grade. I've had mine a little over a year.
The bellows won't vaporize.

As Paul and Greg mentioned, bellows are gonna still here for long time unless you basically bite them and go underwater.

I wouldn’t sell the camera if I suspect they are not in good shape. This camera goes with original bellows, no reason for changing them.

Still, if you want new bellows in a Pekeo II, I have one with non fixable bellows that I kept for donor. I have changed bellows of this camera only once, this camera had no provision as Isolettes for changing the bellows, they are just glued. Previous time I adapted bellows provided by Sandeha Lynch (even he knew it would be risky) and overall it went we but Perkeo is so slim that I wouldn’t wind with front retracted. I can ask again this model specifically bit I guess from here is better to continue in a private conversation that we have already opened.

Overall Voigtlander bellows are top notch same as Zeiss Ikon ones.

There is a wish of buying it, if it doesn’t happen during the weekend I will pm you.
If it’s finally sold I will get one for you, eventually pop up every month or so.

Ok thanks

I have one of these CLA'd by Alex. Wonderful little camera, probably the most compact for 6x6. And a very sharp lens, that is well worth the Voigtlander name. Besides, it is one of those few Voigtlander cameras that are actually ergonomic to use.

And yes, you can trust Alex's assessment regarding bellows.

Sold, thank you!
