Vintage Voigtlander Bessa analog film camera with a reflection on glass. Fine Art old photo with texture, grain and scratches in brown sepia tones.
The Bessa was the Bessa line's initial production model produced between 1929 and 1956.
It's a medium format folder camera that shoots 6x9 cm photos on 120 film, beeing the most well-known and popular of all the Voigtlander cameras.
The Bessa was available with four lens types: Voigtar, Vaskar, Skopar, and Color Skopar.
After 1930, Bessa's offered two options for framing the photos. The first was the "Eye level sports finder," which was hidden under a metal cowl on the top of the camera, which would open the spring-loaded hood to reveal two square brackets. The second framing option offered on Basse's produced after 1930 is the "Brilliant Finder". Operated in much the same manor as a TLR viewfinder, the Brilliant Finder offered greater accuracy which eased composition.
