Description:
Camera was build 1952/53 by Voigtländer Braunschweig (Versuchskamera) for the 60mm Ultragon MF lens based on a Bessa I body. No Rangefinder yet. Scale focussing from infinity to 1.5m
This was not a handmade conversion, but close to a serial production camera
The Special finder is included
No other piece known (since it was decided not to make a serial production, probably influenced by Zeiss)
Moreover, factory museum disappeared (probably destroyed) after closing Voigtlaender Braunschweig manufacturing facility in 1972.
This one survived as personal camera used by A.W.Tronnier (designer of the lens)
Signs of use on leatherette
Glass is very clear
Shutter (normal Synchro Compuer size 000) working well from 1/500-1/25s with sufficient accuracy. Slow times not working. Signs of use on shutter housing.
