I was given it on my 12th birthday back in 1962, when the camera was already 30 years old. It has a Compur T, B, 1-1/250 shutter. Back in those days, I did contact printing. I still have some negatives and contact prints from camping trips and the like. About a decade back, I put in a roll of Tech Pan and got some very happy snaps with it. The Voigtar lens was renamed for marketing purposes after the Second World War and became the Vaskar. I have one such in a Bessa 66, but the lens as produced for that format suffered from some vignetting problems. I have the Bessa on the desk in from of me but the Bessa 66 is backed away in a box somewhere. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
