Welta Weltur 6x9 experience ?

[Thomas78]

Hello,

I am looking for a 6x9 folding camera to be an addition to my Super Ikonta C.

The Super Ikonta is a nice camera but it suffers a bit on the ergonomy side because of the dim albada viewfinder and the operation of the front focus element which is hard to grab as it is quite small.

So I read about the Welta Weltur and it seem that it should be a interesting camera as it has a coupled rangefinder and unit focusing togeter with an uncoated four element lens.

Does anyone have expereince with using a Welta Weltur for shooting?

Is there any noticable difference between the f/4.5 Tessar and the f/3.8 Xenar?

Regards,
Thomas

My second favorite folder all time, at least until I get my Frankenfolder up and running. Well built, tack sharp (mine's the Tessar), easy to use. Don't hesitate. Unit focusing really does make a difference.

I have no complaints. I like it better than my Zeiss 533/16.

What is your Frankenfolder?
And what camera is your most favorite folder?
