I have some proper pictures, finally, of the camera.
You can just make out the two arms that couple the focusing helicoid to the range finder. I've been unable to align the rf patch, but looking at a double decker image still gives a fairly accurate distance reading.
Typical for Certo, there's a flap/panel on the back - you let it down to see the red window, and on the inside is a card with the readouts for the extinction meter. On the back is a DOF scale.
The Retina filter fits on this Xenar too! Here's the box it came in:

Thank you for the kind comments... as threatened, here's a couple of color film sample. Very expired Fuji PRO160C; I had to bring up the red channel. And I forgot the hood  of course...

Again, proves to be an amazing camera and lens! Although the film is expired, you have given us enough of a "look" to see the quality. NICE work.

Was this on purpose or did the ghost come with the camera?
Very nice result anyways.

That's a nice one you've got there. You just need to watch out for lens flare.
