Well, as I got this bug for the folding cameras, since my Iskra I got a couple of others - Certo Super Sport Dolly, which is Ok, but needs some cleanning, so we will see, and a BEAUTIFUL BESSA 6x9. It looks to be a like new condition, which is amazing for such an old camera. Every time I pick up Bessa - I'm amazed by how well it's made. I'm almost afraid to use it - what if it doesn't perform as well as it looks? But I will. Soon. But it's a thing of beauty. What a craftsmanship. What attention to detail. I wish it came with a 6x6 mask - it's designed to take one, but mine doesn't have one - if anyone knows where I can fins one - pls let me know. It's an all black bessa folder, with a COUPLED rangefinder and Skopar lens.
And it's even not as tall as my Iskra, just wider, due to wider frame size. I'm soooooooooooooooo excited to have it. I don't think many cameras made me feel this way before. Almost religious experience handling this one.

Is it the original bessa RF with the coupled but not combined rangefinder (duel windows).? I have one and i can concure that it is spectacularly built and beautifull to boot.

Hey Chaser,
Yes - thats the one. It's a beauty, isn't it?
I just put some film in it and if weather permits - will run it through in a next day or two. Can't wait to see the results. I'll post results as soon as I get them (and if they are worthy ).
I tell ya, I love those old cameras more and more.
