== RHEINMETALL PERFEKTA II - Art deco camera

The camera is made of black Bakelite with grey highlights to the speed control, the red window and the shutter release.

It has a curvilinear design with horizontal linear ribbing around the body.

The camera is a good example of the persistence into the 1950s of the Streamline Moderne style which originated in the USA in the 1930s.

The Perfekta II lens housing collapses into the body. It has an optical viewfinder.

The achromatic objective lens has a decent aperture of f/7.7 that can be stopped down to f/11 and f/16.

The stops are on a rotating blade that can be moved into place using a wheel under the lens of the camera.

The shutter is coupled to the film advance so that double exposure is avoided.

The shutter has timed speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 second plus 'B'.

The speed is set with a knurled plastic rim around the lens housing.

The red window can be covered with a rotating metal blade which is controlled by a small wheel alongside.

A PC flash connector is provided on the left hand side behind the lens plate. The camera has a tripod mount on the bottom.

The camera was also sold by Sears as the Tower 66P.

Condition is perfect, it was a part of photographer's collection.

The camera seems to function properly, nothing was discovered to malfunction or get stuck.

Warranty not provided.

ATTENTION!!! NON-Exposed film inside.
