Man, that is a PRISTINE copy. Very clean, very nice.

Thanks Kenny , I'll try to let you know when the next show is just in case you want to come up for a little shopping and then go on a little shoot .

Great deal! I have the same Bessa/Skopar, but spent $150. Enjoy. And perhaps a nice hat is what's called for instead of a hood--something you can seriously block sun with, presuming the Bessa is (as it usually ought to be) on a tripod.

Thanks Robert, yes the hat would be the best. I'll defiantly do that next time out. I did get a deal, when I asked the gentleman what he wanted for it I was taken back some and had to look closer to see just what was wrong . I check for all the usual thing , bellows , shutter speeds, lens condition, but just over looked the slightly loose film advance knob , it was missing one rivet. It all works good now .

Tom, the red indicates the film was struck from behind, and with that circular pattern, does indicate like the others said the film number door was not closed. I almost picked one of these up for a pittance, but it was a basket case. 6x9 is definitely the way to go in medium format, as you can do so many things with it. Trying to put an Ikonta back together at the moment.

I agree with you on the film door , and love the 6x9 format. Hope you have good luck on getting the Ikonta back up and running.
