This is the eighth post I have done with the Voigtlander Bessa 46<\/a> which is roughly one per year that I’ve been blogging.\u00a0 That seems about right as every so often I think to myself what camera haven’t I used in awhile that I want to use.\u00a0 I think that the reasons I enjoy using\u00a0the Baby Bessa as much as I do is that it allows the use of medium format film with more of the feel of using a 35mm camera because of\u00a0its small\u00a0size.<\/p>\n

I also like the option of doing multiple exposures as seen here.<\/p>\n

The bad thing about the ability to do multiple exposures of course is that you need to be careful not to do them when you don’t want them.<\/p>\n

A search through old magazines shows that in 1939 the Baby Bessa cost $49.59 which may not sound like much but considering that earning $1 an hour back then would have been pretty\u00a0good pay\u00a0makes it something\u00a0not everyone would have considered purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
