Voigtländer Bessa III 667 - first impressions

[Fotohuis]

A test shoot on Rollei Super Pan 200 E.I. 160 in AM74/RHS 1+9 8:30 minutes.

Sharp, a very bright view finder, easy handling and a very quiet electronic shutter are the first impressions.

Very nice ... I didn't even know they were shipping yet.

I had the opportunity to borrow it for a few shots. The shutter is indeed quiet. I have to really listen out for it or be left wondering if I've actually depressed the shutter release.

The only inconvenience is the fact that you have to turn the lens back to infinity before closing the camera. Sometimes, it's easy to forget.

Cheers,

Same as in Iskra

The Bessa III seems to be the King of the Folders. Definitely it has the modern features and portability I would love in a MF folder. But if I could have only one MF body, which would I pick? Hmm, perhaps a Rollei TLR, not sure. I would want it to be portable...
