AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An auction offers a Lordomat C35, a classic 35 mm German rangefinder camera, equipped with a bright Lordon 50mm f/1.9 Red C. A set especially interesting for collectors of German rangefinder cameras and vintage optics from the era.
Due to the rarity of this set, the camera has been kept for years mainly as a collectible piece and has not been used for photography, in excellent condition.
Condition
- Camera in good aesthetic condition for its age.
- Mechanical shutter operating correctly at all speeds by eye.
- Bright and accurate rangefinder, two images clearly visible.
- Light metering functioning, precision not tested.
- Self-tiring (auto) exposure working.
- Lens with smooth focusing and diaphragm without oil.
- Glass clean, no visible fungus or haze. May show slight dust due to age.
The original leather case is included, adding interesting value to the set.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the actual aesthetic condition of the camera, the lens, and the case. It is recommended to examine them carefully before bidding.
The equipment will be carefully packed to guarantee safe transport. Continent-wide Europe only.
--- An interesting piece of classic German photography, ideal for both collection and enjoying 35 mm analog photography.
''Lordon 50mm f/1.9 Red C¨, is a bright and somewhat uncommon lens, especially attractive from a collectible standpoint. It is sought after for adapting to various mirrorless systems, giving a vintage 50s-60s German optical style.
Its maximum aperture of f/1.9 allows better use of available light and offers the representation characteristics typical of a classic optic. The distinctive Red C finish is also a particularly interesting detail for collectors of historic lenses.----

The items I offer are personal collectibles. Due to their ages, their physical and functional condition is not guaranteed 100%. There may be details not described above; the photos are part of the description. If the items are marked as “REGULAR” and/or “UNTESTED,” each bidder may interpret them in their own way. To avoid misunderstandings about the item's condition or expectations arising from different assessment criteria, the description and the photos form an integral part of the listing. As this is a private sale, no claims based on subjective expectations will be accepted. Nevertheless, the operation of elements such as the shutter, the rangefinder, the light meter, etc., is checked, and the lenses are visually inspected.
