Supermatic No. 2 on Kodak Medalist, 1945 by Nesster, on Flickr

This one's from 1945, and has the black anodized helicals. The Ektar in the I version has internal coating only.

I have two rolls re-rolled onto 620 spools ready to go, today's the day! Smile

The double decker viewfinder is a hoot: on the top you have the framing finder, yellow tinted, slightly smaller view than what goes on the full film frame. On the bottom is the true split frame range finder, which is a very much magnified take on the center of the image. The first few times I got confused by this magnification, till my eye became used to it - very effective and positive focus, here.

Does it have a removable back? I wonder if one could use a Polaroid pack with it somehow?

The back is removable and there are a couple of accessories - an extension back, ground glass focus, 6x9 film packs and sheet film.

Image quality from that lens is apparent in these. Jussi, if unhappy in any
way, send the camera to me for proper disposal, thanks. Wink Laughing
