I have a Voigtländer Bessa with the 3.5 Skopar.. . likely produced after the Zeiss patent ran out. So this is the 4 lens three group example from Voigtländer. A pre-war dersign that is not coated. After believing I finally had the light leaks behind me.. there's now an edge leak ... occasionally... grrrr.. intermittent.  I tend to use 400 ASA film with this Compur 400 shutter  as I am wary of using even 125th. So let the film take the speed. This is Foma400 souped in D76 1:1  (Straight Scans..dirt to prove it)

I rode this path for a few years to and from work. I like this view and I shoot it ...well often,,,well too often!

The Joy of using Pre-War Folders.. Duhhh what frame am I on?  I've seen better accidental douible exposures .. it can happen

The challenge of framing a shot and holding it level.. 400ASA helps

Have one of these with the Skopar, and a couple with slower lenses. The BESSA I cameras were used by the AFPU during WW2, though usually as backup to the Super Ikonta, Medalist and Rolleiflexes.
Probably came to the UK through neutral Turkey, similar to other German cameras at the time.

Very Interesting... a link through Turkey for valuable german cameras ..at the time. I haven't researched the serial number, but being a pre-war (consumer) camera likely places this in the late 1930s.  Once the war began these also would be hard to come-by.
