I recently purchased and started using a Voigtlander Bessa 120 folding camera which I believe to be a 1935 model. The lens is a Voigtar f/3.5 in nice condition.
My question is about a close up attachment lens. Voigtlander calls it a focar filter that slips on the front of the lens.
What do the number designations mean? The one I was looking at has a number 8. Is that the strength of the filter?
There is one listed on that famous auction site described as VOIGTLANDER 38MM SLIP ON FOCAR 8 FILTER.
Will this work on my model of Bessa?
Anyone have some experience with these focar filters?
Thanks
