What I love about this model is the 'Vaskar' lens—it offers a beautiful, soft rendering that is particularly flattering for black and white photography. It's a rugged, honest piece of post-war German engineering that feels incredibly dense and well-made in the hand. For anyone looking to step up from 35mm to the massive detail of 6x6 without carrying a heavy TLR, the Perkeo is arguably the most portable gateway to that format.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVoigtländer Perkeo I\u003c\/b\u003e Medium Format Folding Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"11\"\u003eVoigtländer Vaskar 80mm f\/4.5\u003c\/b\u003e Lens\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eVoigtländer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003ePerkeo I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
