Voigtländer Alpin Analogue camera

Auctioning a classic and fascinating bellows camera for glass plates: the Voigtländer Alpin, produced in Germany by Voigtländer in Braunschweig during the 1910s and 1920s. The lot is in good overall condition, functioning, and is complete with its vintage brown leather protective case, two metal plate-holder chassis, and the original rear ground-glass. Optics. The Voigtländer Kollinear 16.5 cm f/6.3 lens presents lenses free of deep scratches or traces of internal mold and mildew. Only a normal and widespread vintage patina due to age, entirely physiological, that does not affect its historical value. Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is functioning. The classic Compur central mechanical shutter responds promptly to manual commands, operating normally. Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid metal frame shows the usual signs of time with diffuse physiological wear along the external metallic profiles and a small localized area where the original black leather covering is slightly peeling away from the case. The model inscription "Alpin" impressed on the back is present. The folding bellows maintain good structural compactness. Tracked international shipping, fully insured and with professional super-protective packaging to guarantee maximum safety during transport.
