Voigtlander Braunschweig Heliar 10.5cm f/3.5
very rare, the lens is in excellent like-new condition, everything works and everything is clean, with no scratches, no fungus, no marks.
with built-in yellow filter. Original.
Note: (Diaphragm blades: The Heliar has 12 blades forming a smooth and rounded opening, whereas the standard entry-level Skopar version has 6.
- Optical design: A symmetric five-element, three-group structure, naturally producing a soft artistic blur; conversely, the standard version consists of four elements arranged in three groups.)

The camera features a black lacquer finish of exquisite craftsmanship and is in excellent condition, practically like new. All functions have been tested and work perfectly; the shutter speeds are precise. The only minor defect is the absence of the bellows trap latch, which prevents it from closing fully. However, this does not seem to affect operation. I regularly unfold it and deploy the tripod to display it in a showcase. It is a truly magnificent medium-format camera.
