Description from the seller
Here we have a splendid, rare, and historically valuable biotropic stereoscopic camera: the Voigtländer Stereflektoskop, produced in Germany by the prestigious Voigtländer in Braunschweig during the 1920s.
The lot is presented in good general condition, with normal signs of use and conservation consistent with the object's age, and is complete with its top-hood viewfinder, the extendable side aiming sight, and superb Heliar optics.
Optics: The camera is equipped with three original, coordinated lenses: in the center it carries the Voigtländer Heliar 1:4.5 f=6.5 cm viewing lens, while on the sides it has the pair of Voigtländer Heliar 1:4.5 F=65 mm stereo taking lenses. The lenses are structurally sound and free of deep scratches or mold; only a normal, widespread, light vintage patina due to age is present, entirely expected for a piece of this age.
Mechanics: The lot is operation-ready at the manual mechanical level. The superb central mechanical Compur Stereo shutter responds to the controls and fires regularly when prompted.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid and robust rectangular black metal chassis preserves its original structural stability well, showing the typical and normal signs of time, with light superficial hazing.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
