Contents
Versions
The Neuheil was made in three versions: Neuheil A (1–150, B, T), Neuheil B (5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, B, T) and Neuheil D (25, 50, 100, 150, B, T).[2] It is said that the 5–150 version was released first.[3]
On all the known examples, the shutter plate is black and is marked Neuheil at the bottom. The aperture scale consists of a separate crescent-shaped plate screwed to the bottom. At least one Neuheil B, perhaps an early one, has Optik & Feinmechanik and JAP. PAT. APPL. FOR at the top of the shutter plate, and has no NH logo.[4] All the other known Neuheil shutters have NEUMANN & HEILEMANN and PATENTS PENDING instead, and have the NH logo of the company on the right.[5]
