Doncaster - Voigtländer Bessa 6x9

[ian barber]

Two photographs were made today (3rd February 2025) using a Voigtländer Bessa 6x9 folding camera, dating from around the 1930s.

The camera had been sitting on my desk for some time due to a small pinhole in the bellows.

Following a recommendation, I applied black liquid tape to seal the hole and decided to take it out to test it in bright light.

Additionally, I aimed to test a roll of FomaPan 100 film, processing it in Kodak XTOL developer which is an uncommon combination for me as I usually use FomaPan 200.

Nice. Would you share the source of the liquid tape please Ian? I have a Kodak Junior I would like to improve.

I like Xtol with Fomapan.
Glen I have used this stuff works well, better to use it when warm.

Amazon.co.uk : liquid tape

I particularly like the almost liquid soft-sharpness of the house. You can't get that with digital and smart multicoated lenses.
