This camera takes 6x9 pictures on 120 film. Due the huge negative size (the negative size is even bigger than those from a 4x5 view camera), I can only have 8 exposures per roll. I bought it from a friend’s father’s estate. Due to the large negative size, the camera is also big and heavy. The optics of The camera has phenomenal optics and with an integrated viewfinder. It means you use the same viewfinder to compose and focus. I recently shot a roll of 35mm b&w film using special adapters. Sitting next to its smaller brother, Perkeo, you can then appreciate how large the Bessa is.
