Alternative to Kontur for a Voigtlander Bessa 1 6x9?

[tom williams]

Are there add-on viewfinders that can be used on a Voigtlander Bessa 1 6x9? Not the Kontur - I see that some of those are available, but at inflated prices. I'm hopeful that I can find an economical alternative viewfinder for my Bessa 1 (whose built-in viewfinder is miniscule).

I used a Tele-Wide on my Voigtlander Bessa folders. Worked great. The multiple focal lengths in the finder was really handy. Get one while the prices are still dirt cheap.

Any VF for a normal lens will work. For 6x9 a 50mm VF for the 135mm cameras work perfect.

Momus, I couldn't see how the finder in the link you gave would work on a standard shoe mount. Did I miss something there?

A member had a Kontur and was willing to part with it very reasonably- happy ending.
