Voigtlander Bessa III

[drmoss_ca]

It's been a while since I used this camera, having been rather taken with the Rolleiflex and the Hasselblad, but it's light and easy to use with a wickedly sharp lens:

Sadly, I have had to ship my Flextight scanner to Hasselblad in New Jersey for repair and service. Expensive!

The fine detail is remarkable.

Dr. Moss, great detail and great portraiture.

BTW, I'm a big Voigtlander fan and have several of their cameras:

Bessa R3M
Bessa R3A
Bessa R4M
Bessa R2A
Bessaflex TM

I also have a boatload of VM mount Voigtlander lenses to go with the Bessa range finder cameras: from the Super Wide-Heliar 15mm to the Heliar-Classic 75mm and many in between those two.

For the Bessaflex TM I have two M42 mount lenses: the Ultron 40mm f2 and a Zeiss 50mm f1.4 Planar T.

I primarily shoot digital but still manage to get out with a film camera at least once a month.

I recently posted up some images that I made with my Contax G2 camera and a roll of Fujifilm Acros 100 monochrome film. If you're interested you can see them here:

I like them, Mike! I am told film cameras remain more popular in Japan than in the west, and that there is an area in Tokyo full of secondhand camera shops. I imagine the streets are paved with drool!
