I actually owned a similar camera to this,back in the 70,s.It was only black & white shots then,but it captured some memorable photos which remain in my album.Gee,how cameras have progressed.Who would have thought that a camera would be invented,where one could actually see the captured image & delete it if we didn't like it.Just amazing!

love old folders, got a bit of a liking for voigtlanders. (quite a few of them) as probably mentioned yours will take 120film. as its a pita getting them developed i do them myself. b&w is easy. then scanned on a flatbed with a piece of glass to keep them flat,i take the lid off the scanner and scan using sunshine through the window.
have fun jim
