Vintage 120 Camera. Bénévent-l'Abbaye, 23210, Creuse

Vintage 120 Camera.  Bénévent-l'Abbaye, 23210, Creuse
For my sins, I have been made administrator of the group Vintage 120 Camera - not an onerous task, since the group has currently less than ten members !! Which is a pity, because there are a lot of lovely old 120 cameras, most of which are capable of making wonderful pictures.

I haven't done too much photography recently, so here are three pics taken a while back, with some of the vintage cameras I have owned, all 120 format.

This beautiful doorway which dates from the late 15th century, is in the former presbytery at Bénévent-l'Abbaye, and the little Voigtlander Bessa 46 which I used has captured much of the lovely workmanship, and the careful restoration of this feature of the building.

The lens was an uncoated f4.5/75mm Skopar, a real jewel of a lens - I bitterly regret selling this camera !!

1940's Voigtlander Bessa 46, f4.5/75mm Skopar lens, Moment yellow filter. Foma Ultra 200 developed in Diafine 4+4 mins A&B. Scanned @1200dpi on Epson V500

Mike,
Your note on this picture is what led me to join your 120 Vintage Camera group and also what inspired me to put a roll of film in one of my Super Ikontas.

Peter, I am flattered!
Good for you! There is something wonderful about using a camera that goes in a jacket pocket, but produces enormous negatives, so keep on taking your great pictures!

Best, Mike
