A Contact on my YouTube Channel and FLICKR sent me a 1950's VOIGTLANDER 'BESSAMATIC' with a 50mm f2.8 COLOUR SKOPAR so I did some tests on outdated AGFA APX 100 processed in Home-Made PYROCAT HD then a short length of 2008 dated KONICA VX 400 rated 250 ASA in C41 mix. I took MOST using 1/500th so I could get a wider aperture so most were at f4. f5,5 and couple at f6.3 and ONE at f16
TOWN MAP of BRENTWOOD at f6.3


Metal Seat at f16

Street Candid at f4

taken at f5.6

Nice vintage look, I have the Bessamatic in good working order ,but the viewfinder has lots of specs and dirt , would you know how could I clean it? Thanks
My septon doesn't go all the way that yellow as your lens, ice only used it on digital raw

WOW !
Those Voigtlanders are just gorgeous, even the late ones like yours
IIRC there was a zoom made for this camera, one of the first in the market
