35mm SLR with half case, 3 lenses, accessory finder, bag, extended literature.�
Beseler Topcon Super D was the combat camera for the US Navy and the US Airforce from the 1960's to the 1980's after winning a competitive test with the Nikon F and several other Japanese and German cameras. This incredibly diverse lot includes: secondary Waist-Level Finder with case and original box;�35mm�f3.5 RE.Auto-Topcor lens with original leather case, caps, box; 100mm f2.8 RE.Auto-Topcor with original leather case, caps, box; and attached�RE.Auto-Topcor 58mm�f1.8 with front cap. LeMans SE bag also contains original manual, several promotional pamphlets and lens guides, a 20 page review and report magazine published about the Topcon D, and a large, fold-out full color folio detailing the Topcon D innovations and several other Beseler models. Condition-wise, the body itself appears quite good overall, with film advance/shutter cock and shutter release occurring reliably at all speed settings- Bulb hold-open works as expected, counter advances, aperture stop down, opening and closing, etc- all appear normal. Speeds are untested, CLA necessary. The attached 58mm prime shows some mild scuffing to front element and has not been fully inspected for fog or dust- aperture slow to close, may require CLA. 35mm and 100mm appear extremely dust free, in VF to EXC condition, with fast, oil-free aperture operation, well-greased focus helicals, and no obvious signs of fogging. All cameras sold by Whitleys Auctioneers are not tested for CLA or electronic/meter functions, but basic condition inspections have been performed.
