The lens is a Schneider - Kruzmach Xenotar 1:2.8 / 80 mm lens. The view finder lens is a Heidosmat 1:2.8 / 80 mm lens. The viewfinder hood has the extra "Sports Finder" option.
The camera’s Synchro-Compur leaf shutter by Franke & Heidecke Braunschweig has a top shutter speed of 1/500th of a second and enables one second long exposures plus bulb and allows flash sync at every speed, making it useful for many different situations. It has MYV/CRO max synchronization, and delayed action.
The shutter is known also for being extremely stable and quiet. It enables low-light shooting even at speeds as low as 1/15th of a second. The user can also lock in the shutter and aperture and use the EV scale - by pressing in and turning the button on the front of the aperture knob.
The aperture on this camera is F2.8 to F22. Focus is from about 1 meter to infinity.
Both the aperture and shutter are changed with dials on each side of the lens and viewed from the top down on the lens. This feature is common to higher-end cameras.
The original leather camera case is also in excellent condition. It has a unique feature that locks the camera securely into the case so that the case can be flipped open to take a photograph without removing the camera from the case.
This camera has been in climate-controlled storage in our home for close to 40 years. The shutter works perfectly as do all the controls. The leather case is pliable and has no scars or damage of any kind inside or outside.
