This is a nice example of a well engineered British 1950s medium format rangefinder, made in my old home town of Croydon. Excellent condition cosmetically and all functions working: rangefinder spot moves and aligns, shutter speeds all work, accurately on 350, 200, 100, 50, 25, 10th, though the very slowest 5th, half and second times are working too, but could be on the slow side. Lens (75mm f1:4.5) clear and focus and aperture good. Light-tight bellows, clean interior and excellent original leather case with stitching fully intact. Also comes with original Agilux sunhood. The rangefinder function is the ‘uncoupled’ variety, where you gauge the distance using the wheel (photo 90, read off the distance when the ‘spot’ aligns, then set the lens focus (gets easier with practice!). Also the anti-double exposure lock is working fine (so you have to wind on the film as well as cock the shutter on the lens front)Thoroughly usable camera – this will give 12 high resolution images to a 120mm roll film (available through ebay), but also a beautiful display camera.
