What it is

{"overview":"The Voigtländer Brillant (sheet metal) is a medium-format pseudo-TLR roll-film camera introduced in the 1930s, using 120 film to produce 6×6cm negatives. Hammer prices at saleroom level reflect its status as a simple amateur camera, and the price a buyer is worth paying is highly condition-dependent given the thin metal shell is prone to dents and corrosion.","buying_guide":"Inspect the sheet-metal body carefully for dents, rust and paint loss, as the thin shell is easily damaged and difficult to restore. Check that the viewing lens is clear, the shutter fires at its marked speeds and the film advance and frame counter operate without binding.

Questions

Is the sheet-metal Brillant the same as the Bakelite Brillant?

No — the sheet-metal Brillant is the earlier metal-bodied construction, while the later Brillant was offered with a moulded Bakelite body, and collectors price the two variants separately.
