I've made a trip to Pune recently (for work, no halidays... Sad )

I brought My beloved folder in case I had some free time for photography, below you can see the results.


Good news: the bessa rocks!
Bad news: typical exaples where camera quality exceeds photographer skills





































Light quality was awful that day, but I've made some colour attempt also:










B&W film is Fuji Neopan Acros 100, colour is Pro 160 C.

IQ is still not as it could and should be, but I'm proud to see that I'm still improving, also thanks to MFlenses galleries Wink

C&C are welcome!

Good to see this lovely camera in action. Do you have external range finder ? Or focusing was pure guess ? I like close distance B&W images others would be better a lot in color in my opinion.

Fantastic images, some very strong photos with the classic 6x9 look.

Gorgeous, soulful, beautiful. Second shot and first bell shot are my favorites ...

I've the range finder, but for some shot I had to set the hyperfocal and go.
The third, for example, it's blurred because is shot at 1/25 , f11, fixed focus at 4 meters. But I wanted to catch the moment, and with a bessa is difficult at such distance (for me, at least Embarassed). The second was easy, at 1/100 f5,6, I could slow down my action and take advance of the effect of the camera on the subjects, as you can see from their expression.

For the color....
...well I have still a LOT of work to do....
Probably I will stick again to Superia reala, much more forgiving.

I use exclusively for non-movement subjects these cameras, landscape, cityscape or portraits. To catch moment hard or near impossible as you found.

I got great result with slides for scanning and publish on web I like lot better than any color film especially if subject is near infinity.
