Introduction
The first Voigtländer Brillant was released in 1932. This early Brillant resembled a TLR nut it was technically closer to a box camera, since it could not be focused in the viewfinder. While contemporary TLRs had rather dim ground glass viewfinder, the Brillant had a so called brillant finder made of plain glass. The 1932 version had a metal camerabody. Later versions were made of bakelite, a polymer, and introduced an accessory compartment for an extinction meter or filters.
