This is an example of post-war German camera engineering, the Akarette II. This was in production from about 1950 to 1954; as the German camera industry was re-establishing itself after the war.

With Schneider-Kreuznach Radionar 50mm f/3.5 lens.

With instruction manual as a PDF file on a CD-ROM

There is no rangefinder - you have to estimate and set the distance by hand.

What appears to be a rangefinder on the front is actually two separate viewfinders - one for the 50mm standard lens, and one for the 75 mm telephoto lens (not included). You switch from one viewfinder to the other by moving the lever just below the viewfinders. See pictures

The film counter has to be reset by hand.

The AkArette is a 35mm viewfinder camera with interchangeable lenses, made by Apparate & Kamerabau in Germany. The viewfinder was switchable between 50 and 75mm focal lengths. Interesting detail: the leaf shutter is part of the camera, set just behind the bayonet mount. Most leaf shutters are part of the lens, set between the lenses.

The camera is in working condition - see test pictures. Also, a couple of the test pictures seem a bit fuzzy even though they are properly exposed. Perhaps a focus issue??

The self-timer does not work. The flash synchronization (via PC plug) also works. Flash and connector plug not included.

Reasonable cosmetic condition.  Some wear. The back plate of the camera has some instruction tables, almost completely worn away.
