Extremely rare Italian Leica copy with rangefinder, for 24 x 34 mm format exposures. The last version of the Perseo, now with name engraving on the top of the topplate. We are aware of only 4 other Perseo II cameras. The camera offered here with the only collapsible Rodenstock Heligon 5 cm f/2 No. 2034060 (optics with haze) known to us. In addition to the Perseo 5 cm f/3.5, the faster Rodenstock Heligon was planned as a further standard focal length lens for the Perseo II.
The rangefinder without contrast.
Included: Everready case.
