Site Map Voigtländer Since 1756  Produced from 1952 thru 1958, this is an early "1" model having the detachable shoe. In 1955 the shoe was mounted to the front right, top side with screws. Quality of details is excellent, but cumbersome by todays standards. This model uses a turning knob to advance the film, but later models added a lever to the film advance. However, both share the same shutter cocking, & focus mechanism as early models. This particular lens is a Nokton 50mm 1.5 bayonet mount.
