Ilford Witness with Dallmeyer Super-Six Anastigmat 1.9/2" no.443466. The Witness is an advanced 35mm coupled-rangefinder camera, production difficulties led to less than 350 cameras being made, and the line was scrapped in favor of the Ilford Advocate. The camera has a focal-plane shutter, with speeds 1-1/1000 second, plus 'B' and 'T', slow speeds (1-1/25 second) are controlled with a separate dial. The shutter is synchronised for bulb and electronic flash, with separate sockets on the front of the body. The rangefinder and viewfinder are combined in a single eyepiece. The standard lens is either a 1.9/2" Dallmeyer Super-Six or a 2.9/5cm Daron.The back and base are removed in one piece to load the film. The film is advanced with a winding knob, with a mechanical frame counter arranged around the knob, and also rewound with a knob. The camera shows moderate signs of use, the sought-after Dallmeyer Super-Six 2“ lens with small stains of lens fungus.
