Bought this camera at a camera fair a couple of years ago. Once I had seen it and handled it I just had to buy it!
Made by the Walter Voss company of West Germany in 1956 it is a coupled rangefinder with interchangeable lenses. One unusual feature is the two viewfinders; one for the standard 50mm Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar f2.8 and the other for 85-90mm lenses. A range of lenses were made for the camera from 35mm to 135mm.
Rather a small camera for the period it is beautifully crafted and very well made. It feels slightly heavy because of the small size but feels so good and handles extreemly well.
