This set of images were made with what I think is the oldest camera I currently own – a Voigtlander Bessa I 6×9 folder from 1936. It works incredibly well for its age but it is a little quirky (it has separate viewfinder windows for focussing and composing) and it’s not particularly fast to use in a hurry but I do enjoy the size of the frames on the film and it folds down to a very compact size which makes it perfect for carrying around. I’ve only put three rolls through it so far and I think I’ll try a roll with this camera mounted on a tripod to see how much sharper the images become.
[Tech info]: Voigtlander Bessa I 6×9 folder, 105mm Skopar lens, Fuji Acros 100 film, developed in Kodak HC110 1+31 for 5:30.
Nicely developed set images from the Bessa. Is it 4.5 or 3.5 aperture ?
The Arcos film work well in your images. have use Ilford PAN F at all ?
Thanks. My Bessa RF is f3.5. I have used Ilford Pan F on occasion – if you use the search box at top right you can find the posts where I used it. I’ve got some in my film stash so look out for it.
