Thanks for looking, Philippe.  The Perkeo I and II are cute little VL
folder cameras, which you can see if you scroll down the page:

This the only German camera I own, and it is likely to continue to be. 
I love my Olympus cameras too much, and now Mamiya, which is giving me
great big muscles.  The benefits to my physique trump good sense it
would seem.  Somehow a Canaan 5D got into the harem -- tiny little thing
-- but it loves Zuikos and stays out of trouble.
