Equipment Type: SLR
Equipment Brand: Classic Voigtlander
Equipment Model: Bessamatic 28/35/45/50/135
Price (S$): Best offer
Description:
Calling classic lovers! Or simply brave ones to go all manual and enjoy the primal experience of photography!

1- Original Bessamatic Shutter-Leaf SLR system
- with rare incident-light meter diffuser
- and detatchable accessory shoe
2- Original leather casing
3- Original (rare) booklet, kinda like "Magic Lantern" for the era
4- Custom machined Kodak Retina Scheneider lenses of the following:
- Scheneider 28/4
- Scheneider 35/2.8
- Scheneider 45/2.8 (pancake)
- Scheneider 50/1.9
- Voigtlander 135/4

* Great for B&W, a hard act to follow by digital.
* If you enjoy pastel texture, run grainy colour like kodak-gold 400 for oil-painting out-of-body feel!
* Great flash system, fill-in for upto 1/500 (what's your DSLR flash-synch? 1/180 most likely without complicated FP flash at reduced GN on higher speeds...)

Lot's of time and money (and love) went into building this system. I had best of two bodies combined into one perfect working condition. Body comestic is EXC+, probably better than you'd be when you reach over half-century old :bsmilie:

Lenses were machined by someone crazy enough to do so in some nordic region from Retina system for Bessamatic. Lenses conditions are mixed, from GOOD to EXC+.

I've actually used this great dame - so I know it's working.

The goods are at P&G Peninsula shopping centre, ask for Andrew to view and appreciate and negotiate :thumbsup:

Up! Up! Up! :)

Go on, just feel how cameras were made back then! (and how they should be too now....)
 

Up for the charming classic!
 

Up for a great classic body and 5 lenses!
 

UP!

ps: you can get an adapter to use the lenses with DSLR. I'm not up-to-date of what adapters are available tho I know it's available for EOS, but there is enough optical registration distance for 4/3 and M4/3, and usually when if it's possible it's likely been done too!
