Edwin Molenaar

1937  VOIGTLANDER   'Bessa'  Folding Camera.  Manufactured in Germany from 1937,  the camera came from a classic stable of cameras.
It comes in good-used condition. with signs of age/use. The bellows are good and the shutter works, via a cable release. As well as the usual reflex-box viewfinder, It also has an unusual folding optical finder, which has a spring-loaded metal cover when not in use. The f6.3 105mm Voigtar lens focuses easily and appears to have dust between the elements. The lens panel is finished in an art-deco black and silver finish. The back has a hinged rear-door for changing film.  120 film is used, giving eight 6cm x 9cm exposures per roll. An 80-year-old collectable.

Good used Condition.
