Both camera are adjusted and shutter cleaned I couldn't be happier now, can't wait to try it out them. Konica has very sharp lens with awesome 1:1 viewfinder and a mechanical masterpiece. Welta also best 6x9 folder camera what I ever seen, built quality is better than Bessa II ! It has awesome focusing mechanism and coupled RF. Lens is sharp Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar pretty exciting ...

I've always wanted the Weltur, congrats! They seem to be better made
and heavier than the Bessa's. Looking forward to the pics, have your
daughter use it. Just kidding. Wink Smile

Smile We will have a long path until that Smile Younger one is technically very talented, but she not show interest about photography (yet Smile )

Older one is very creative , but camera handling a real trouble for her , she love photography pretty much , but still on AF.

Are you going to show pics of these cameras? The Welta Weltur is hard to
find over here. The ones I see on ebay are offered by a guy in the
Netherlands, maybe Belgium, who does fantastic CLA's on them. And of
course, go for a chunk of money at auction.

Tough to sell most girls on film cameras, anyway. Wink

So is that the shutter release on the left hand side, top of camera? I really
like using shutter releases on the left.

Yeah, it will go for what he's asking, probably.
