This is absolutely true, a waste of the lenses! Most Voigtlander cameras are
mechanically excellent. The Bessa is an exception and in no way does justice to
the lens, particularly when fairly well used.
I knew nothing about these cameras until investigating on behalf of a friend of
my wife's the value of a camera she inherited when her father died. It was like
new and was very valuable as a collectors item but not a very good design as a
user camera, compared to a Super Ikonta, the only other folding MF camera with
which I am familiar.
