Voigtlander bessamatic repair plus#

Д«essamatic (I'm not crazy about because I had to repair the shutter 'curtain/flap.' Plus there's flecks missing from the prism glass that makes everything look dirty. I also have a Bessa 66 - the prewar precursor to the Perkeo - with a Skopar. and I just collimated it to true infinity, I'm so excited! I have a Bessa I with a Vaskar and the 6x4.5 mask. Since he gave it to me i bought a Vitoret LE but the Perkeo is my all-time favourite. I have a Perkeo E, it was my father's camera. I have Vitomatic Ib, Vito CD and Vitoret D.

it's fun to shoot with it and feels quite old ) I'm stefan from switzerland and got the vitoret of my grandfather. Jerome travers edited this topic ages ago. (It's my mother's camera), I use Kodak TX 400. Years ago my uncle gave me a Bessamatic CS. Thelma from Buenos Aires, Argentina here. While I have no Bessamatics, I do have 11 various Vitos, a couple Brilliant TLR's, and four folding Bessas including a Bessa RF. Now I can hardely wait to try this 'real camera'. However, the film speed setting is quite difficult I have to do a lot effort to get it done. I got my Bessamatic last night, and I'm so excited. Lethal toothbrush edited this topic ages ago. I think they all end up beeing a little too expensive on ebay. Look up Vitessa, Prominent, Vito III, Perkeo e, Bessa II etc in this group and elsewhere. There are some rangefinder camera contemporaries from VoigtlГ¤nder though. Regardless, you have put your Bessamatic to good use and we look forward to more photos from it. en./wiki/RangefinderД«ut the Bessamatic is not usually classified as a rangefinder camera (but as an SLR). I suppose any device or utility which is used to determine distance from film plane can be called a rangefinder. Sadly the meter on my Bessamatic is broken, but as long as I follow the sunny 16 rule, I continue to have astonishing results out of this camera. Something about the look and heft of this camera spoke to me, and after a brief conversation, the vendor sold me the camera for $80. After a few hours of wandering aimlessly through the aisles, I came across a table where the vendor had a few Bessamatics for sale.

I knew I wanted a rangefinder camera, but I wasn't sure what kind I wanted. I live in Vancouver, Canada and I bought a Voigtlander Bessamatic at a camera swap meet two weeks ago for about $80 CDN. I didn't see a thread for introductions, so I thought I'd start one (hope that's OK).
