The Bessa II with the Apo Lanthar was an incredible camera. My only "beef" with the Bessa III is the negative size - I wish it was that spectacular 6x9. Nice stuff with it too.

That's definitely a camera to be used with color film! Lovely images.
Welcome to the forum.

I have one w/ the lowly Color Heliar. Perhaps the Lanthar is sharper? Wow. What film are you using there? Great shots. I love Voigtlander's 6x4.5 mask on the viewfinder. Utter simplicity.

A modern 6x9 folder a'la Bessa III with 80 - 90 mm lens would be a killer (and could be paired with 6x9 with 50 - 60mm lens). The lens on the Bessa III is a bit too long for my traveling landscape tastes.
What about (presumably quite a bit smaller) 6x4.5 folder with 65mm lens (and of course also one with 35mm lens ). But there are too many Ga645/Ga645w cameras around to make such a camera interesting I guess. Still - it would be great ... and expensive

I feel the same way. 50 years old and still pulling its own. I wish the Bessa II with the APO Lanthar wasn't so bloody rare.

A 65mm in a 6x9 format would be the equivalent to 28mm with 35mm film.
[Edit] The Plaubel Makina 67W with a Super Wide is a pretty rare beast [Edit]

I have never seen one.

Nope, Watson! The dust spots on the last two pics indicate they're scanned negatives. Moreover, these images render exactly like my Bessa II with the APO-Lanthar.
I don't know which is prettier ... the camera or the Lamborghini!

They look digital because they were scanned on an Imacon. I have often noticed that images scanned on a flextight or drum scanner have a clearness or crispness that you don't get with cheaper scanners (even a Nikon 9000). I suppose it's got something to do with the reduction of grain??
