Voigtlander's folding 6x9 rangefinder — the Bessa II, bellows, leaf shutter, coupled RF, mechanical, 1950.

The Voigtlander Bessa II is a fixed-lens folding medium-format rangefinder produced from 1950, a post-war continuation of Voigtlander's Bessa folding roll-film line. It was a well-built folder shooting the large 6x9 frame, sold with different lens options over its production run.

This is a folding medium-format rangefinder producing eight nominal 6x9 frames on 120 roll film. The fixed lens is mounted on a bellows that folds into the body, with a leaf shutter in the lens, and focusing is by coupled rangefinder. The camera is fully mechanical, with no built-in meter, so it operates without a battery.

It suits landscape, portrait and travel photographers who want a large 6x9 negative in a body that folds flat to a slim package. As a vintage folder it is a deliberate, manual camera, valued for its build and the big negative, and it is also a collector item given its age and the range of lenses fitted over the years.

When buying used, the first check is the bellows, which on cameras of this age commonly develop pinholes: inspect them in a dark room with a light inside. Verify rangefinder patch alignment, which often needs adjustment on old folders, and test the leaf shutter, particularly the slow speeds which can stick. Inspect the fixed lens for haze and fungus and check the folding mechanism for play.
