I had a Beauty when I was a teenager, back when the earth had first cooled. Mine had a f2 or f1.9 lens, I forget which. The lens was quite good, and I shot a lot of pix with it until the shutter "blew up," and the cost of repair was more than a replacement camera.

This is a really nice-looking camera ! I hope you`ll get the shutter working. Who manufactured these models ? George, I also had a Beauty when I was a teenager, but got divorced 10 years ago MIK

Photax -
I left myself wide open for that one! Somewhere I have a few pix of my then Beauty shot with the Beauty. I'f I'd been in the picture it would have been Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty? Canter?
Reminds me of a book I read as a kid, "Black Beauty", a horse.
