Chronology of cameras Voigtlander

Traduction de Manuel M

This small folding camera was called “Baby Bessa” or “Klein Bessa” in opposition to Bessa 6 x 9.

A yellow filter; who is unfortunately absent from model presented; is fixed in front of the lens by a hinge which makes it possible to use it or not.

The lens can be Skopar 3,5/7,5 cm, Voigtar 3,5/7,5 cm or Heliar.

Small visible embossing on the top of the case is an exposure meter which is incremented manually by means of the rectangular button visible with the top of the bellows.

On the sole, one finds a small foot of maintains, a table of depth of field, and the button of opening of the back.
