RARE Black Krass Peggy II Coupled Rangefinder Camera
RARE Black Krass Peggy II Coupled Rangefinder Camera D117/3 with Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar f2 4.5cm lens. (Some wear to the base, otherwise working and with signs of normal use, commensurate with age). Cocking the shutter is certain to fool most people coming to this camera for the first time as after the first exposure the entire lens and shutter panel has to be pushed back home and then pulled forward again. The camera uses its own, unique cassettes which had to be loaded in a dark room but could then be fitted in the camera in the light. A built-in knife cut partly exposed films so the take-up cassette could be removed partway through a film. Comes with the original lens cap and case. Provenance: Bob White Collection
