This beautifully engineered camera was Voigtlander's flagship 35mm system camera of the time, and is built to a very high standard of finish. Seen here with a 50mm f/2 Ultron lens, but often found with a 50mm f/1.5 Nokton lens, or a 50mm f/3.5 Color-Skopar lens instead.

The rangefinder is coupled, and the focus is set by turning the ring surrounding the film rewind knob. The shutter is cocked automatically by the film advance mechanism. Voigtlander Prominent Manufactured around 1951, this interchangeable-lens 35mm rangefinder camera is fitted with a 50mm f/2.0 Ultron lens in a Synchro-Compur shutter. And the circle is for relatively distant action ( from about 25ft to infinity with the f-stop at f/8 or larger ). Also, as with a number of Voigtlander folders, there is a triangle focus setting and a circle focus setting. I believe a small lever is missing off the back top center. Original case strap is unattached at one end which is evident in the last photo. I cannot find a serial number but am sure there is one.

The shutter functions well and seems accurate. Above the 2,700,000 serial number, marking the end of WWII, but not much above. “Bessa” line of 35mm and medium format rangefinder cameras and lenses.
