I can buy a welta weltini with tessar 2,8/5 cm lens.

The appareance is the model 2 one.

And has 3 windows at front. Not only two like all i saw before.

Anyone knows what model is it?

Bessa RF Skopar has also three window , two for RF and one for simple view, RF window is magnified shows center part in double.
This is best thing I like a lot. I expect same from your Weltini.

I have one I am fixing. Its in fine shape. These are sturdy cameras and very well made.
The only problem now is the rangefinder adjustment. On the two-window model it is poorly designed and difficult to adjust.

Some of the Weltinis had a rangefinder fitted to the bottom of the camera, mostly just a rangefinder/viewfinder combination, a three window model will have one large clear viewfinder and a magnified rangefinder. I've never seen one perhaps this is a home conversion.
A Pity this one doesnt have the Elmar lens.

I assume you are asking whats so special about this camera with an Elmar? Coz its a rare combination and normally sells for many times more than a Tessar version. That would make it a bargain. Whatever you think of Leitz lenses. And when you get fed up with it some mug will snap it up.
