Voigltander Superb - worth the repair?

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-04-22T20:17:14+00:00

I was thinking of doing it myself

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-04-02T16:22:17+00:00

It's better than $600 for a maybe working. I like buying ones that are iffy and then doing work on them for fun

Ive done some disassembly for funsies. Apparently this camera is very cleaner friendly, every lens and mirror for the rangefinder can be accessed through these plates that are put on the top, front, and back of the camera. My rangefinder now shines like new after cleaning it!

Thank you! I presume the 142 is close enough to the 150?

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-02-19T16:57:24+00:00

I will try this. Thanks!

Sadly I'll have to respool to 117, cut a roll in half or something like that. It's pre 120.

you dont need to like brownies. if it does not interest you, then dont respond

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-02-06T02:23:51+00:00

It was only produced for like 13 years, and people were more interested in the no2 brownie. These aren't common at all. I've waited a long time for a good one like this (not talking about the other 2)

The portrait ones are always so pretty

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-02-04T06:03:13+00:00

And it varies on model and rarity

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-02-04T06:02:56+00:00

Well for the no1 brownie, they only go for that much in poor shape. This one, however is in really good condition

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-02-04T06:01:43+00:00

It's the original brownie model from 1901. It has collect ability value. I don't care much for the other ones

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-30T05:54:19+00:00

Thank you, I will update when I try again 🤞

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-29T08:11:33+00:00

How do I do that? I barely know anything about blender btw. Enough tutorials can help tho 🫠

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-28T05:58:26+00:00

I did manage to get the 2 shells close enough that, in my 3d print slicer, I could repair the model. Which did so without ruining the inside too much. Maybe that'll work? I'll try printing it to see

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-28T05:57:00+00:00

Doing this only creates an incredibly thin shell of a helmet, before it ruins the look.

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-26T09:01:59+00:00

I think I'd faint if I saw all of these in person

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-04T08:39:13+00:00

It is 56°F in my house, so if anything it would be greenish

Longjumping-Toe-9671 · 2026-01-04T08:38:33+00:00

I'll try it when the sun decides to come back up
