    a German Voigtlander 'Bessa 66' with 75mm f3.5 'Voigtar' lens came my way -- the Donor said 'it's Not Working' BUT it had to have a FILM LOADED before shutter and wind would work ! Lens was 'Hazy' -- I took some tests with Hazy Lens then 'Got Inside' with Lens Spanner kindly Donated by a Fellow Camera Club member and managed to clean lens elements. For 'Infinity' I have to set 20 meters but closer focus is more accurate. I have done some B&w and Colour Negative. with it.

    Very cool, its always fun to be able to run film though old vintage cameras.
