That's always possible, Ric. But I have a Bessa II. Voightl?nder made
them with several lenses, the Skopar being the top of the line and I
hear it is very, very good.
The others aren't. You might have one with one of the others. (Novar?
or something like that). I've shot one mounted on a tripod, a Bessa II
with a Novar, and things are still soft. I even went so far as to pick
up an external rangefinder. Didn't really help. A lot of these old
folders are just not as good as memory lane would have them to be.
If you make contact prints they're just fine.
