Vintage Voigtlander Bessa RF 120 6x9 Film Camera
s/no J635844
Fast Heliar f/3.5 10.5cm Lens
s/no1078969
Compur Rapid Shutter T/B 1-1/400th
Comes with original case & strap.In fabulous cosmetic condition considering the age,with absolutely no abuse.
Producing huge 6x9 negatives in a crazy compact size.This being one of my own personal
cameras it will be sad to see it go,but I haven\'t used it for a long time and it\'s
the sort of camera that should be used and not simply admired.The range-finder has been faultless and is clear as is also the viewfinder.
Shutter has never missed a beat and works superbly on each setting..slow & fast.
Mechanically everything is sound and the bellows are also in good shape & light tight.The Heliar lens is clear and bright with No fungus but does have some
balsam showing around the outer front edge (as can be seen in picture 11) under the Heliar name.
I have never found this to be a problem and it has been there since I have owned the camera
some 8 odd years or so without deterioration.The last picture above (sample Internet Photo) is for the benefit of those who may not know just how great these lenses are..they produce really smooth bokeh and that beautiful Voigtlander mojo which IMO
nothing else can compete with nor can it be assimilated with computer wizardry...
and that\'s why these cameras will always be so collectible.
A true classic.++Once again please note the condition of the lens in my description above ++Priced to Sell
