The camera has a 5 cm f/3.5 Tessar (marked for both Krauss and Zeiss, so perhaps made by or for Krauss under licence), and a dial-set Compur shutter with speeds 1 - 1/300 second, plus 'B'.
It has helical unit focusing; the knurled focusing ring is accessed at the bottom of the camera, and the distance markings appear in a small notch in the front of the top plate. The film advance key and frame counter window are on the bottom.[1] There is a folding frame finder.
