For sale is a nice working Bessa with the coated Skopar f3.5 lens.

This is one of my favorite cameras for packing a huge 6x9 negative in very little space.
This is a fine example.
Bellows is light-tight. Shutter is working at all speeds. The lens is free of fungus or haze. Note that this is a vintage camera and dust and minor cleaning marks will be on the lens. This will have little, if any effect on the images produced.

$215 shipped in the USA

I'm getting excited to take it out for a spin!
 
Finally some results! These are from the 2nd and 3rd roll through the camera. The first was a roll of Neopan that Darin generously included with the camera, but isn't developed it yet. These are HP5+. I think it's a keeper.

My neighbor Tim, his son and grandson. They had just gotten his dad's 72 Power Wagon running after several years. His dad left it to his son.

The camera and that truck are great examples of classic design and execution. Great results!!
