Hope don't bother all of you too much with my photos of Folding Cameras, today I have done some still life composition using a Macro lense, to emphatize the textures of these fascinating cameras. This time the models are: Voigtlander Inos (1931) and
Voigtòander Bessa (1937)....two fascinating old ladies indeed.....!

Hi Paola,
As Randy said, these two Voigtländers are right in my collecting period. They look to be in superb condition, and are beautifully lit and photographed. Thanks for posting them.
Among my Voigtländers I have a very simlar Bessa, but I don't have an Inos as I haven't yet found one in my price bracket which, I freely admit, is on the low side as always.
I am quite sure you're not bothering anyone with your pictures. Quite the opposite. They are always a joy to look at.
BTW, Your pictures don't show in the "50 most recent posts", at least not on my computer. If anyone else has this problem just click on the "Link to Post" button and they appear as thumbnails . Click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture.

Thanks a lot Peter for the comments. I am glad you like my photos. Regarding the two Voights they are in wonderful conditions I have not tested them practically (but they looks perfectly working) as I have to get more familiar with the use of these cameras so, by the moment, they are used as....models only. I am so much fascinated by these folding cameras here another one from my little collection, a Zeiss Super Ikonda 531 A with some vintage photos around
Hope you like it

Hi Paola !
Superb pictures ( like all your pictures ! ) of two great german cameras. Your picture looks similar to the 1930s Voigtländer advertising photos. Great !

You do have a wonderful way of photographing your cameras for illustration. Very nice to view. I have a post war model of your Zeiss and it is my favourite med format folder.
