Description from the seller
Rare and sought-after, the Voigtländer Superb (first generation, circa 1933) is one of the very first twin-lens reflex (TLR) cameras produced in Germany. Designed for the 6x6 cm format on 120 film (still available today), it stands out for its innovative design, its quality of construction, and its rarity on the current market.
This specimen is equipped with a combination of optics characteristic of the early series:

• Viewfinder lens: Voigtländer Anastigmat Helomar 7.5 cm f/3.5 (no. 856725).
State
• Very good overall condition for a device over 90 years old
• Fluid mechanics: shutter, focusing, aperture, arming
• Clear optics, free of fungus and without noticeable scratches
• Some signs of normal wear for his age
• Delivered with its original leather case (good condition with signs of wear)
