403. Voigtländer Prototype Camera PR 2248

This is the second and recently discovered prototype of the camera PR 2248 described and illustrated in 'Voigtländer Report 1' page 3-102 by Claus Prochnov. The unique design was from Dr.Faulhaber, the father of the Vitessa camera. The outside of the camera for 24x36mm film has some stunning similarities with a Hasselblad Superwide with attached magazine, but the camera is much smaller: 5.8 x 6.8 x 6.8cm (10.3cm including lens) . The camera back can be easily detached without fogging the film after turning a substantial screw head by 60 degrees (which moves a covering plate over the film window - a truly elegant solution!). The camera body structure (front part which holds the lens and rear part serving as magazine) is light alloy machined from the solid, the elegant cover of the back is chrome plated brass covered with black leather (the cover is easily removed by pressing two knobs). Design and make of this camera are absolutely superb. With Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 2.8/5cm no.1287473 in Vario shutter, with focussing mount. Film transport and shutter tensioning with a large wheel on the top side of the body (5cm in diameter), exposure counter to 36. The only other known example of this unique design is illustrated in 'Voigtländer Report 1' page 3-102. Xenar 2.8/5cm no.1287473
