My late Fathers Zeiss Super Ikonta 531/2 brand new from Stuttgart back in 1953, he must have been as proud to own it back then as I am now. I have put a new skin on her and have a new set off bellows goin on her next year, otherwise she loos as good now.

My Voigtlqnder Perkeo 11 takes incredible black and white images, it is a beautiful camera. And it’s size is an engineering masterpiece.

JMPGINO- that is a gorgeous 531C
dwilliams1948 and Greyscale those are also beautiful -both your pictures and the cameras.
My son has a roll going in my Perkeo I currently so I have been shooting with my 531A this past week (first time in a couple of years) and it has been lots of fun.

The Perkeo was a loaner from a friend, and it was equally good with color. I have replaced it with a Baby Bessa 66 with the same lens a similar form factor.

This now reconditioned Agfa Billy Record II came to me with the Solinar fitted to a Synchro-Compur.
It took me years to figure a safe way to unfreeze the front focusing cell. - Upon which time, it received the needed new bellows.

Without a doubt, a second tier medium format folder - with that said, when folded it's a very compact package for the format.
With regards to looks, the camera still has a bit of the Art Deco charm of Agfa's earlier versions of the Record..
Andrew, That one is a beauty. Myself, I'd be a sucker for the red bellows.

Moggi the Isolette II looks great and I'm sure will give you plenty of enjoyment.

Ikontas 521 and 531. The 531 is an older one with uncoated Tessar f3.5. The newer one accepts this nice hood that I found for it. Both are lots of fun to carry and use.

Would have to think, this Semi-Leotax 645 folder is my smallest body yet. Sweet little camera which had a stuck rangefinder, but now works perfectly.
Toko 7.5CM/F3.5 lens with Copal B-300 shutter. Fits in a pocket.
