Voigtlander Bessar 1:6.3 classic manual 6x9 MF camera

Thanks for viewing comments and critique welcome

fine capture and fine details,thanks for reminding me the color of the leather cover,

Wonderful sharpness on this great old classic. Do you still use?

Hello Fred, I came across this Voigllander last week as a friend got it from his grandmother. Everything looks 100%, I have a roll Iford BW film in at the moment need to finish it to see the results. Its super compact and I will use next to my other gear when I am shooting. I will post some results as I get them. I look foreward to seeing some landscapes and a few portraits. I only have 6x7 with my mamiya. Thanks for looking in. Regards Carl

Great composition of this image.... beautiful details and sharpness...

 

Best Regards, Jill

A real collectors item ! Good clear shot . How many cameras have you got so far ? Bill

Nice still image on the old gear.

Well done!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Carl

I like this shot, having a little collection of folding cameras I am particularly fond of them and believe they are, for their ''original shapes'' the materials composing their bodies and the ''old times look'', fantastic objects to be used for still life compositions.I have posted a couple of examples in the Black and White gallery inside my portofolio and in one of this photo there is a Voight Bessa, too. I like in your photo the rendering of lights and the contrast in chromatism between the black of the camera and the brown of leather case.

Very good indeed.
