Description
Today something different. This is one of my first cameras, a Voigtlaender BESSA II. It was the old cam of my father and he gave it to me in the year 1974. I learned a lot about photography with this cam. It still works, but it's hard to get the films for it.
Thanks for your interest
A great weekend to all!

My Dadhad something called a Box Brownie, I have never bought expensive cameras, because my skill with them is horrid! My son in law has one he loves, but alas it has broken and none of tho shops can fix it. His lenses don't fit the newer stuff. I guess that's what is called planned obsalesence, make sure it isn't indestructable or they'll never buy another. Thanks BJ
