Very good condition but it does have a sticky shutter. Common for a large majority of these old cameras. A little lighter fluid frees it up but an hour later it is frozen again. Need to dis-assemble the lens elements to clean the blades of the shutter.

Comes with a coupled Rangefinder and an uncoupled match needle meter. Both working as they should.

Edit: Shutter now free as a breeze. Works snappily on all speeds including Bulb.

BD, to me it's all about the lens stuck on the front of it, the Lanthar should yield
some dreamy results! Congrats!

I'm curious about the Lanthar lens -- never tried one. Some people scoff at triplets but a well made triplet can be quite good and Voigtlander knew how to make lenses so I would expect it to be good performer.

Thanks my friend. I got it for a song really. $10,00 plus $8.95 shipping. Really looking forward to trying it.

I haven't been disappointed so far with Voigtlander lenses.
