Selling in a few minutes on ebay -

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221337736776?ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1554.l2649

Nice collectors item. $ 90 BIN
Lens is an extra-large aperture Schneider Xenar (well, for the time), but the early first version Xenar, which is a BACKWARDS Tessar !
I.e., cemented pair in front, air-spaced pair in back.
Also has an interchangeable lens mounting system, like the Voigtlander Berheil.
Quite an odd duck this little Certo.

Listing removed, perhaps the seller realised it was too good a bargain

Thanks, yes I noticed it when I was looking at the Voigtlander. I didnt realise it was your camera! Still a bargain tho!
