Henso (ISO) Reporter with 50/2.8 Iriar rare italian 35mm rangefinder Leica copy

The "Henso Reporter" was made by Iso in Milan, introduced in 1954/55 for export purposes, after the "twin" Iso Reporter. Less than 800 pieces was made of this rare camera. The Henso Reporter was sold under the name of the German camera maker Dr. Hensoldt in Wetzlar, because the Iso management thought that such a good camera could have a better export success if the people knew it was a German camera instead than Italian. The camera has a rapid wind lever on the base, like the Leicavit. This camera is in excellent+++ condition. The biggest signs are vertical signs on the front pannel. The lens is the 50mm F:2.8 Iriar and it's in good condition, with some dust inside and some cleaning marks. The shutter seems to be in working order, but we can't guarantee its accuracy. The finder is clean and the ranfeginder has a good contrast. The eyepiece with diopter correction has missing the glasses. There are no problems with the framing in the viewfinder (it's a bit bigger than a 50m) but you can not adjust the diopter
