RARE GAMMA Perla 35mm film camera, Italy 1951, serial number 17909, with Steinheil Cassar 50mm f3.5 lens, serial number 902567, and fixed spool.
GAMMA was founded in Rome in 1947 by Ireneo Rossi, who came up with the original solution of a semi-curved shutter, found on models Gamma I, II and III.In 1951 the Perla was introduced, with coupling rangefinder and fixed lens.Lenses were all from Germany, among them this Cassar 50/3.5 on a Prontor-S shutter.Around 1955 production ended..., thus counting the cameras produced by the short-lived Gamma within the hundreds.
Camera and lens are very nice showing average wear.No dings or dents.Camera was professionally serviced on December 2019 - and not used ever since - so all functions are accurate.
Speeds are fine, rangefinder works.Viewfinder is foggy.Lens looks acceptably clean, commensurate with age.
Buy withconfidence and safe from a trusted seller since 1998.Thank you.
