Weltini German 35mm folding rangefinder camera Welta CLA Compur Rapid Zeiss Tessar
zzIf you wonder why I have same shipping to European union like for rest of world it is thetherefore because for these sales needs to be paid VAT to government. There is no option in ebay software how to set it I am using part of shipping charge (and still loosing on sales to EU). If you are from EU and you will purchase 2 or more items I will arrange for you special shipping ... charge that can be lower like for heaviest item itself! If you are from Europe but not from European union or you have valid EU VAT No., do not pay and ask me for shipping charge mentioned bellow in description.
This camera type was produced starting from 1939 up to 1941 by Welta, Germany. It is coupled rangefinder camera for 35mm film.
This is the second variety of Weltini that has rangefinder in integrated housing.
This is very well made camera, with high quality of manufacturing. If I will use 35mm folging rangefinder this will be one serious option to consider. Robust and heavy
Description:Without Ser. No. Lens Carl Zeiss Tessar 50/2.8, stops up to 22, uncoated, ser. No. 2431284. Shutter is Compur Rapid with speeds 1-1/500 and B.
Cosmetically is this camera EXCELLENT-. Chrome with tiny scratches, no brassings. Leatherette with heavier wear. Black edges with repainted marks. Used a lot.
Without case.
Camera was recently CLA therefore works properly, shutter speeds are appropriate. Lens glass is clean, no fungus, no scratches. Very good glass for this version. Micro bubbles are in every lens of this age. Very good glass for this type. Focusing and stopping is smooth. Bellows looks light tight (controlled with flashlight). Rangefinder well adjusted, image visible. Film advance and counter are working. Camera looks to me to be in fully working order.Air mail shipping and handling charge is WORLDWIDE $30 - INSURED; to European countries those are not in European union $18 REGISTERED (letter), it has automatic insurance coverage up to $50 (Euro) per packet, contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option. They do exist express options (EMS and business packet) to most countries of world however cost are different (expensive) you need ask about them separately.
If post will confirm that insured packet was lost or damaged (you need claim by delivery) I will replace it - when impossible refund the full amount. I need wait for post confirmation, too many crooks lately trying to have both item and money.
It is included in it incombinable $5 packing and handling charge that remains by combined shipping. Rest of charge I will combine and calculate just true shipping charge for packet to your country if you will purchase more items.
I have declared up to 10 days handling time for my items. I need this time to control and last time test every item, for items shipped out of European union put it in custom office that needs 2-3 days prepare documents and transfer packet to post office. Expected postal delivery time is usually up to 2 weeks but delays simple happens, for example in USA packet often need more days for security control in custom office. For these reasons I choose to check ebay shipping option "economy shipping ... 11-20 business days", I hope that you will get as quick as possible (in most cases you can calculate get packet 1.5-2 weeks after payment date if you are in European union, 2-3 weeks for rest of world) but really I can not affect work of custom and post offices worldwide anyway and delays can happen. Online trackable it is in some countries, for example USA, China, Japan. Contact me before making any Ebay or Paypal claim, PLEASE!
Combined shipping saves often costs per item considerably but not in all situations, ask about exact items. By very cheap item is possible ship uninsured - this will cost $3 less, but I will do it only if you will declare that you will not make any claim if packet will be lost by transport.Look at my other auctions for more camera items!
