What I love about this model is that it doesn't follow the rules—the shutter is on the left, the advance is a long stroke, and the engineering is delightfully over-built. It was the choice of professionals and scientists for years because it was so adaptable. It’s a rugged, honest piece of East German history that feels like a precision instrument from another era.
