Scott from Mainline Cameras asked me to put together my thoughts on this unique camera.

Thanks for that Ed (and Scott). Your enthusiasm is contagious!

eddale, would you at some point share some images using f/16 and above? Reason is that old school folders get a weird "astigmatism" problem when you use an aperture higher than 8 or 11. Look forward to pics if you have time or interest.

PS: I own an old Ansco Viking 6x9 and Zeiss Super Ikonta III- same aperture/lens issues...

I'll be sure to do that - been wanting to try some Landscapes and the Ektar 120

Thank you for the review! It looks like the Bessa III is exactly what i need. I'm getting mine tomorrow, and plan on taking it as a snap shooter next to my 4x5 for a photo assignment in Australia! Will post the results when I get back!

Thanks for that, now I want one as well... 🙁
If I didn't already have my hasselblad I would make this the first thing on my list of cameras to get.

I am trying hard to ignore this camera out of the fear of being even poorer 🙂

Damn! This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I was thinking of replacing my Hasselblad with a Mamiya 7 because I prefer 6x7. However, I can't get over how terribly sharp and contrasty the Mamiya lenses are. This seems to be much closer to the Zeiss glass. Still a bit too expensive for me, though.
