Fitted with the highly desirable and rare Rodenstock Retina-Heligon 50mm f\/2.0 lens set in a Compur-Rapid leaf shutter, it delivers superb optical performance and shallow depth-of-field capability in a compact folding form factor. Featuring a coupled coincidence-type rangefinder, top-plate film advance, and distinct baseplate depth-of-field scale, it represents fine post-war German mechanical camera design.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOverall Condition: Excellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOptics are fungus and haze free with possible minor dust.
