Description from the seller
3 bellows cameras: Voigtländer Bessa
1) 1931 serial no. C931515, Anastigmat Voigtar F6.3, shutter slows at 1/25; other shutter speeds seem OK. Timer sticks. Bellows OK, signs of use. Lens surface OK, dust seal.
2) 1929 serial no. A537417 (the very first production year of the Bessa). Anastigmat Skopar F4.5 114mm. Bellows OK, overall optical condition OK, with signs of use. Lens surface is nice. Notable are the Brilliant Finder (transitional model) and the Compur shutter. Shutter speeds up to 1/250 (it jams at 1 second; faster speeds OK, accuracy of the slower shutter speeds not guaranteed).
3) Very nice standard Bessa with Compur-Rapid shutter, Voigtar 105mm F3.5. 1937 serial number J629516, bellows OK. Rangefinder at the lens; the lens surface is nice but has haze/mold spots on the inside. Shutter speeds appear accurate from 1/5 to 1/400. Included but not pictured: a mask to go from 9x6 to 4.5x6 to 6x9.
Pickup can be in Antwerp, not tested with film.
