Hi George ! Welcome to the Camera Collector ! This is truly a nice find I also have one in my collection. Took a look at your flickr page: A lot of excellent pictures, especially the birds, lizards and nature pictures. The lichen pictures sometimes looks like a map from an undiscovered continent  Greetings from Austria, MIK |

Hi George !
I've had a few Voigtlaender cameras over the years, and have enjoyed every one, they're excellent user collectibles.
You got a very nice camera for a nice price. Congrats!
Greetings from the Twilight Zone and 4th most depressing city in America ;D

The first camera I bought was a second hand Voigtlander Bessa II with a coupled rangefinder. That was around 1952 from memory I've been trying to find another for my collection but those that come up on Trademe ( similar to Ebay but NZ only) are too pricey for me so far. One day I'll find one - I did get a Retina IIc in immaculate condition for a very reasonable price a couple of weeks ago, $57 which converts to approx GBP28
