I am restoring a Voigtlander brilliant, and the restoration is going well, but the words on the camera are different than anything I have seen before. I am familiar with the "Portrait, Group, Landscape," and "Portrait Gruppe Landschaft" that you see on every other Voigtlander camera I've bought, but this one has "Portret Skupina Krajina" on it. I think I know what it means, but what language is it? Does anyone know? Babel won't help me because it needs to know what language it is before it will translate it.

Thank you very much. The camera came from Israel, so it probably has quite a history. It's travelled more than I have.

Hi Charles,
I am a new member in this forum and the way I write English is chaotic (sorry)
To be exported, the Voigtlander Brillant TLR have been made in many different versions regarding the language.
The different languages that were available are : German, English, French, Czech, Spanish, Italian and Polish,
I still miss Czech, and Spanish version in my collection.
