Very nice indeed. I like the European pictures the best. Love the colors and tonal range..

Wow what beautiful control!

I've been always interested in this special camera/lens, it's good to know that one of them is in right hands (and eyes).

I have my Bessa II with the Color-Heliar loaded with Fuji Reala, and no Imacon in sight to scan the stuff with.

No wáy I'm even gonna get close to these shots 🙁.

Tell me, are these crops? I don't see any curly corners, film plane seems really flat. Standard pressure plate in the camera? VERY interested here...!

Here is an image shot with BessaII + Color-Heliar (Kodak 400CN used and Nikon 9000):

Here is a 100% crop (4000 dpi) of previous image. Center part of the image. You can see on the original where the crop is. Think the grainy 400CN limits the resolution. It is a very small part of the original image.

You probably don't know that a well corrected lens is exellent for BW especially if you don't use a filter which often can compensate for a poor correted lens.

MXP Thanks for sharing!

Nope, Watson! The dust spots on the last two pics indicate they're scanned negatives. Moreover, these images render exactly like my Bessa II with the APO-Lanthar.

I don't know which is prettier ... the camera or the Lamborghini!

I am saying that the scanned image has the characteristics of digital in terms of clarity and detail.

I am not disputing that it's a scanned film... Sherlock. 🙂

The grip and base are impressive. Is Black Sandalwood a dense wood? Ebony?

Now the price is crazy, there is no reason, even though it is very rare.

I bought it in 2006 the price was $2,460.
