I have a 1931 Voigtlander Inos that is almost fully restored. However, it is missing the "foot" that folds out of the lens door that props it up level for display. Tried the swap zone and got nothing, so I am wondering if Voigtlander made another camera that uses this same piece and if any of you are familiar enough with Voigtlander to be able to tell me what it is. Apparently the early Inos is fairly rare and another Inos is not cheap, even a junked one. I'd hate to buy one just for that. If there is another, less expensive, camera that uses this same foot, does anyone know what it is? If not, I'm going to have to make one. |

There is a camera called Voigtländer Rollfilmkamera which was built for various film formats - they seem to share (6x9 version) the foot with the Inos. If they would be cheaper - I don't know.
You can compare here:

(scroll down a little) and here the INos:

Maybe also a foot from a 6x9 Bessa can be used?

Msiegel: Thank you. That camera is a Beatrix. "Rollfilmkamera," I believe, means roll film camera. Unfortunately, that looks like it might be the very rarest of Voigtlanders. It looks like I'll be getting out the bench grinder, dremel and needle files and I'll be making my own foot. |
