Voightländer Perkeo-1

Absolutely stunning piece- this is a Voigtländer Perkeo I (circa 1950-1954), a compact folding medium-format (6x6 cm) camera for 120/620 roll film, celebrated for its elegant German engineering and portability. It's a viewfinder model (nc rangefinder), with a sharp Voigtländer Vaskar 75mm f/4.5 triplet lens (coated for better contrast), Prontor SV shutter (1/1s-1/300s + B), and simple bellows design that folds flat for pocket carry These were everyday enthusiast cameras- rivals to the Zeiss Nettar--producing square negatives with warm, vintage tones ideal for landscapes or portraits. It appears to be in an excellent cosmetic condition: clean chrome, supple bellows, intact leather (although pieces might be missing) case/strap, and clear lens (no haze/fungus visible). If the shutter cocks/fires smoothly, it's a gem for film shooters.
