The Bessa is an impressive camera, I have a (post war) Bessa I with the fantastic Color-Skopar coated lens. These old folders are amazing, I also have a 1937 Zeiss Ikonta 6x9 with a Zeiss Tessar lens, uncoated of course, and that can produce wonderful negatives if used with care, quite amazing considering it is 10 years older than me.

Did you have the camera on a tripod? It is a bit awkward to handhold and needs to be used with the shortest possible shutter speed and smallest aperture possible, I have found.

So far (one film completed and one half way through) I have used it handheld. The first roll was shot at 1/100s and f/16. I did have camera shake on one shot, so my second roll I used 1/250s (the fastest on my copy).

I'd like to be able to use the camera on cycling and walking outings so would prefer to avoid a tripod. Apart from the extra weight in carrying the tripod, one factor is that my copy does not, surprisingly, have a cable release socket, so long exposures would need to use the self-timer.

I'll probably stick to HP5+ in future to ensure I can use 1/250s

First roll of Kono Colour. Interesting. The red fire like blobs are a bit disconcerting. Also got a ridiculous 80+ shots on the roll

Also got the roll back from the Minox CD112. It's the only film zoom compact I own. Decided with DX up to 3200 and it's got backlight compensation (buried somewhere) I thought it might be quite good. These were all at Smallwood vintage rally which was very busy and very hot!

Today I got round to using a No 3 Kodak Folding Pocket Camera which I was given my by dad about three years ago. I loaded a piece of Kodabrome darkroom paper (quarter-plate size, or 3.25 inches * 4.25 inches) to produce this image.

The camera dates from between 1903 to 1909. The graves in the image are from 1915 so the camera would have been quite new at that time.
