There's just a bit of smearing in the far corners on the picture above, but it is not enough to be a distraction and is forgivable in such an ancient triplet lens.

Thomas, this is the camera that had the light leak recently, yes? If so, it seems you got that sorted and it's a capable performer now. There's just a bit of smearing in the far corners on the picture above, but it is not enough to be a distraction and is forgivable in such an ancient triplet lens.

It's the Bessa Rangefinder that started in the 1930s; it's the 'ancestor' of the Bessa II. It was offered with Helomar, Skopar, or Heliar lenses 🙂 . If you follow the links to Flickr you'll find details of my camera here http://www.flickr.com/photos/43334883@N03/sets/72157629691099238/Citizen99 The tractor pics are fun and the Heliar really looks sharp corner to corner! Is that the Bessa II ? I ask because I am not aware of an earlier camera having that lens.
