It’s a classic. Extremely well made, in brass, leather, chrome and black enamel. It’s much heavier than the correspondent Voigtlanders and AGFAs. It simply oozes quality, built to last ! =)
The Tessar 75mm is very good stopped down to F5.6 and beyond. It’s single coated but it’s better to use a metal hood (like all cameras here). The pop up open viewfinder is simple but much better than many small ones, at least it’s easy to clean and BIG. This camera has no rangefinder or light meter.
Always check the bellows for holes an cracks. It's leather made and they're old, so be advised. Be warned that it's a pain to change it. There's some information here. Basically, you'll need to unbend two tabs that keep the film rail in position. The problem is that they're long and steel made. If you plan to do this, keep calm and take care.
