Another rescued camera: Welta Reflekta II with Meyer Trioplan 75/3.5 lens. I have a soft spot for TLRs and Trioplan lenses, thus I got this one from Germany.
However it had some major issues: big dent on the winding knob makes loading film and winding impossible; mirror is very dim; slow speeds are too slow. Now most are sorted, except the slow speeds (I'm not familiar with the Vebur shutter). It is ready for action!
They are cousins from East and West Germany from similar era. Both are basic Twin Lens Reflex cameras that are aimed for the mass market.
Left: Welta Reflekta II with Meyer Gorlitz Trioplan 75/3.5 lens
Right: Ikoflex Ia with Carl Zeiss Nova Anastigmat 75/3.5 lens
They are very similar in design and function. Both lenses are triplet design. Manual shutter cocking that is separate from film winding.
Differences:
1) The Ikoflex has a fresnel lens in its viewfinder, and is more evenly lit and slightly brighter in the corners.
2) The Ikoflex has automatic frame stop for film advance, while the Reflekta uses red window
Juleka is a character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. In seasons 1-3 she was age 15 and in seasons 4 she was 16, This could be seasons 8 or something when shes older and now a latex model. Shes an emo girl in the TV show and did love fashion, so I think this look is 100% her. She in the shopping mall looking for a new shiny outfit.

Getting the focus right is tricky with that old screen... (stopping down might help?)
FP4+, Rodinal 1+50
first film development in years. Sadly.
FP4+, Rodinal 1+50
shot wide open at minimum focussing distance vignetting appears at the top corners for some reason. Otherwise it never vignetted.
the second test shot - aperture wide open!
I think this demonstrates well, that this old lens actually works as intended (uv-filter and hood hadn´t arrived yet)
FP4+, Rodinal 1+50
I don´t think i like the combination of FP4+ and Rodinal 1+50 very much. In this underexposed shot i see why very clearly. I should have gone Caffenol C-L stand depelopment or maybe even XTOL 1+1 for what i expected from FP4+.
the very first test shot with the restored Reflekta II
aperture wide open, FP4+, Rodinal 1+50
...but there is sharpness to be had! Even wide open at f3.5 in direct sunlight. Nice!
FP4+, Rodinal 1+50
A freshly restored Welta Reflekta II equiped with a new mirror, a (probably unnecessary) modern UV-filter and a new hood.
It is important to note, that the available replacement mirrors are slightly thicker than the original ones. 1,96mm vs. 1,62mm.
Trigonometry awaits. Adjust your viewing lens accordingly!
