That wiki reference gives nothing on the Bessas. That said there's plenty on 
the net about the older ones. I've at least three 6x9 Bessas and a Bessa 66, 
but prefer the later 6x6 Perkeos (have 4) as they fit in my pocket.

I rather like the 1936 rangefinder Bessa variant with the uncoated Helomar 
lens....
