A couple of weekends ago I borrowed a camera that had belonged to a friend's grandfather. It's a Voigtlander Prominent that I dated as being from 1934. Only 4,000 of these cameras were made between 1932 and 1936. Although it had a few dents, the 10.5cm F4.5 Heliar lens appeared to be in good shape and the Compur shutter sounded ok. The rangefinder was way off, so I guessed distances or paced them out.
The friend told me it was probably last used in the 1970s - so it has sat idle for more than half its life. So I shot a roll of Ilford Delta 400 through it for old times' sake. Here are a couple of shots from the roll - one being the inevitable unintended double exposure that's so easy with this type of camera. There's also a shot of it on my mantlepiece.
