Nice! Looks like it's in good shape. Those Industar lenses are really quite sharp. I've got a Industar-22 on my Zorki 6.

This old folders have for me one shortcoming. Filters. Usually not typical sizes and impossible to get. I figured a way to use Cokin filters on them, but this is not an elegant solution.

Very true in most cases.
Do se filter for the Zeiss ikon folding cameras sometimes but it's not a overflow of them.
