These 1930's Voigtlander folding cameras often had a built in yellow filter to increase contrast in the black and white films of the day. The filter swings out of the way if you don't want to use it. I decided to give this redscale film a yellow filter treatment though to see what what would happen and I love the results. The Heliar lens is much touted as one of the best of the 1930's and here it gives almost a 3D effect in a few of these. This camera makes the top ten list for my favorites of all time.
