AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
After a six-month break, I've resumed selling my late father's photography collection since October 2025. He was an avid amateur photographer for 65 years and in recent years also experimented with alternative lenses on digital cameras. He took the lenses apart as needed for cleaning or repair. I'm a novice in photography myself, so I'm describing the lot in as much detail as possible, including as many detailed photos as possible.
READ the information below and carefully examine the attached photos to avoid any misunderstandings.
this concerns
Kavel is not tested because the camera does not spool. The camera itself looks visually very good. Perhaps it can be repaired.
Comes with a Jena B 2/58mm or a Zeiss Biotar lens. Focus is fully but stiff. The diaphragm does not close completely, see detailed photos. The lens itself has dust inside and is not entirely clear, so it will need some love to restore it and make it usable.
then a fantastic combo
Comes with the original bag, which has some stitches coming loose.
