This was my grandfather's camera that he bought while stationed in Japan around 1950. It has a manual focus lens and a view finder. Of course, you line up the shot in the view finder and focus the lens, which you cannot look through. So, sorry these are so out of focus. I am hoping to get better at this with practice. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
The IV has a top speed of 1/200, and the IVa 1/300 sec. I sent mine to John vanStelten at Focalpointlens.com . He cleaned the lens for me and I am getting fantastic shots with it now - as good or better than with my Rollei35 with Tessar f3.5 lens. Regards, John

I found one of these cameras a a thrift store just last week-cleaned it up and it works great-there is a little fungus between the shutter and lens which I can't get to but the pictures look okay anyways-thanks for sharing!
