The intricate world of cameras brought to you by {name}

Edwin Molenaar

This iconic 1939 rangefinder camera has been completely overhauled in 2022 and has been used by me since then. Everything works flawlessly except if set at 1/4 or 1/8 sec, then it fires at 1/20. The rangefinder patch is very clear and operation of the camera as a whole feels extremely smooth and gentle. I had a flash contact removed that had been added in the course of its respectable age and left a scar under the slow times knob, as can be seen in the pictures. 
The lens included is the famous red scale Elmar from the mid 50’s, with improved coating. It takes surprisingly crisp and sharp images with excellent color rendition. Focussing and aperture operation of the lens are just as smooth and flawless as of the camera. The lens also has had a CLA in 2022.
