Optical Locomotive

These are some more of the photographs I took of Jon Harwood's sweet and mint 1928 Voigtlander. My father was a World War II photographer and gave me his army issue Zeiss Ikon Voigtlander when I was very young. It was stolen from me in New York around 1972. Zeiss had the greatest lens's in the world, hand polished for an eternity. This is a beautiful and precise instrument, in virtually the same shape it entered this world 83 years ago.
