the description about Durst 66 is not quite right, since there is little info about that camera online, just because it is almost impossible to repair. Durst 66 has NO cylinder inside, it has a pair of 'cymbals'. one is inflexible aluminum, the other one is made of flexible material. When winding the shutter(also transfer the film), the flexible side is pushed clinging to inflexible side, left almost no air between the two. Release the shutter, the flexible side is forced away from the inflexible side, the chamber between the cymbals INHALE air from small hole, not expel. The shutter closes after flexible side return to it's original position.
Most interesting. I'd only heard of the last model .

Hi - many thanks for your info - I'm sure John Wade will be pleased to read your comments
Please test french Foca cameras
If you can find some working examples of the FOCA cameras, we'd be happy to oblige - they are nice cameras but quite unreliable sadly.
