It&#8217;s lovely. Made in 2000, it&#8217;s not old by any standards, and it has the Leica screw (aka LTM, aka M39 screw) mount which means I can partner it with old lenses which are fantastic quality, but which don&#8217;t cost megabucks. Bought with a super little Russian lens called the Jupiter 8 (50mm f\/2), I&#8217;ve now partnered the Bessa with the amazing Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f\/1.5 lens, as shown here. It&#8217;s a match made in heaven. I found a new source for my straps too &#8211; there is a chap who owns and runs\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.1901fotografi.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1901fotografi<\/a>\u00a0who makes all his straps by hand here in the UK. Absolutely superb quality for a very respectful price. I&#8217;ve recently received some scans back from using the Bessa with the Jupiter 8 and I&#8217;m very impressed (posts to come). I took the Bessa and the Nokton out today for a quick walk in the snow and took some shots on Fuji Acros 100 film, so I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing those results in a couple of weeks time. This is film camera number five. Wow &#8211; how did that happen&#8230;. :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the legendary 35mm rangefinder camera that is the Voigtlander Bessa R. It&#8217;s lovely.
