Description from the seller

This concerns a Plaubel Makina IIS rangefinder camera. The camera is in excellent condition, noting that focusing without the rangefinder element is only possible using the scale arrangement as it is present on the camera.

The shutter functions well and the speeds sound correct by ear.
The Anticomar 1:2.9 f=10cm lens is clear and has no scratches, fungus or haze.
The mechanism for distance/focus adjustment operates smoothly.
The bellows are excellent (no pinholes).
The rear door is without a ground glass. It will therefore need to be replicated (relatively simple to do; info on the Internet).

The camera is supplied with an original Plaubel roll-film holder.
