    Looks like a Zeiss Ikon Jewel.

    The hat is a vintage Stetson Stockman, Fedora style with a tear drop crown.
    The shirt and jacket are Brooks Brothers.
    The Tripod is a Marchioni
    The shutter release is a Kodak.

    I never realized St Ansel's eyes were bluer than Jack Benny's...

    Looks like 1940s Ansel in 1960s color.

    And the lens is a 14.5 cm (22 cm + 29 cm) Zeiss Double Protar.

    I do remember reading somewhere that St. Ansel used a Zeiss Juwel early in his career. These come up on ebay every now and then, always for much more than I want to pay.

    Another thought, looking at the placement of the right angle viewer, is this could be a Zeiss Favorit.

    That bothered me, too, Kent. That's why I asked, and I'm not sure that it IS a Juwel. Maybe even a Voigtlander?
