Just received this and photographed it before detailing. Really not much to do to it as it is almost immaculate. Only need to adjust the rangefinder a little which is easily done by removing the front top cap and adjusting a screw. Quite small but a heavy little sucker. Bottom and back come off for easy loading of the film. Can hardly wait to try this one out. All in all a beautiful piece of German engineering.

Great score -- just like mine. 
I'd like to get a wide angle lens for it and start collecting a little "outfit." There is also a faster 50mm I'd like to try. Lenses are a little pricey though.
I love the odd advance lever -- reminds me that I'm shooting something out of the ordinary. |

I hope it is one. I'll find out soon. Got a roll in it right now and just need some time to shoot it.

The lenses are pricey when you can find one. Saw one on the Bay ...a 90mm for $199 US.

I have one just like it, same lens, same condition, but earlier serial numbers. Nice camera! I got mine in the original leather case for $20 about 20 years ago.
Worth it to me!

Beautiful little camera, vaguely reminiscent in design of the Vito B, plus a rangefinder of course.

They cost much more than that now. And still worth it. One of the clearest rangefinder patches I've seen.

Actually a much better build than the Vito B. Heavier and better fit and finish.
