Vintage Voigtlander Bessa analog film camera with a reflection on glass. Fine Art photo 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.
