I can't stop gushing over the little Perkeos. They are my favorite of the 6x6 folding cameras from the golden age of German folding cameras, 1932-1955. They are so well made, so small and so simple. Also, the shutters almost always work and the bellows are usually not pinholed. The chrome was of decent quality and usually has held up well. Most of them do have a double exposure prevention but with a simple modification you can remove it and toss it away making these one of the ultimate medium format doubles machines. Opening the top plate also allows for internal cleaning of the viewfinder elements. The simpler Perkeo I came with two types of lenses, both of which are very good but the Skopars are slightly better. Almost all the Perkeo II cameras seem to have the Skopars and they also had a frame counter and automatic frame stop once you set the first frame and then flip the lever...
