I have a slightly later one of these, given to me by a very generous friend from Germany. He completely overhauled it for me before I got it and i really enjoy using it .
The Coffee Can is a great collector piece. The mirror and the viewing screen are probably dirty and need a clean. The later models have nice and bright screens.
I have one, and absolutely love it. My example has the Novar triplet lens, soft wide open, but stopped down is excellent. A yellow filter helped out no end with the uncoated lens. The best thing, in my experience, is the lever/slider focus. I found it preferable to the more usual knob focus. You're absolutely right about the Zeiss numbering and nomenclature, it makes no sense whatsoever.
@@beforedigital a wonderful camera you can find for 15 Euros in France, make sure you get the version with FLOR type of lens 3,5 its the best, its a Tessar.
Love your passion for these old cameras. I try to stop myself adding to my collection. But it’s difficult as I am sure you know only too well!👍📸

Some great images there and impressive amount of detail in the shadows and highlights!
