I've recently bought this little rangefinder for just € 15,00 Very Happy . Run an Ilford FP4 PLUS 125 ASA-film (not the film shown on the picture above) through it and this are some results on f11. All negatives scanned with my Epson v500 at 3200dpi.

Perhaps not the best cam and lens available, but it's a gorgeous looking cam IMHO.
And your shots are really nice. I esp. like the second one.

I've just run my first roll through my new to me Braun Super Paxette. Mine is a little different to yours in that it has 4 'buttresses' around the lens and is equipped with a Schneider Kreuznach 50mm f/2.8 lens.

Sharpness is superb on it.

Film is Dragon No.1 from Ukraine - a 100ASA film I believe to be developed from a soviet film formula.

This straight from camera, developed then scanned. No editing at all.

The Xenar is probably the best 50mm on the Paxette system. Very good build in heavy brass and covers GFX format too.
