Welta Reflekta II

I've got one with Meyer Trioplans. Finally got around to scanning a roll.

Here's a 100% crop for those who enjoy looking closely:

And here's one more:

All shot handheld wide open. Film was Delta 100, developed in Rodinal. I knew Meyer optics are decent, but honestly I did not expect this.

Hey, that's not bad at all! How's the mirror? They often have deteriorated quite badly.

This one had, too. There was a rainbow-like colouring on it and the silver had just worn off from places. Luckily someone on this forum told me that Lasershop in Germany makes new replacement mirrors. Bought one for about 15 euros including freight and installed it. Now everything is clear.

The focusing helicoid feels a bit stiff-ish even after greasing it, and the magnifier loupe pops up a bit too high, I have to push it down a bit to focus it properly with the ground glass. Other than that, it's a great little camera.

Oh, do you mind telling me the name of the shop in Germany for the mirrors?
Great camera, enjoy!

the pictures are really nice. seems as if I have to unearth mine. I bought it in a lot with a welta perfekta that I wanted so much. there was an accessory kit in the lot for using the camera with 35mm film. it seems to complicated to install. anyone any information about how to use this kit?

The kit does sure sound interesting. Do you have pictures of it so that we could collectively guess what goes where?
