The Voigtlander Bessa II is a folding medium-format camera that uses common 120 roll film to produce huge 6x9cm images.
it features a built-in uncoupled rangefinder for ease of focusing. The camera weighs about half of most of it's competitors and will fit in a large coat pocket.
As it has a leaf-shutter lens and no mirror slap you can hand hold this at very slow shutter speeds. It is also very stealthy as it makes very little noise when fired.
The lens is either an f/3.5 Color Skopar, Heliar or the rare (and expensive) Apo Lanthar. All are quite good with good contrast and sharpness.
This one has the Color-Skopar lens. Speeds sound accurate. The rangefinder is in proper alignment.
The body shows a few dents and the leather show some wear. However at only $495 this is a great deal for cameras that usually sell for $300-$400 more.
