    )
    .
    Central
    Rangefinder in the
    Viewfinder  and
    Automatic Film Advance/Shutter Setting.
    Fully Working "Ready to Use" I
    n Exceptional Very Close to New Physical Condition.
    The Excellent four element  Skoparex lens has no scratches, cleaning marks or fungus. There is a slight amount of internal dust. I am confident ir will produce excellent images.
    (The Skopar lenses were "Bench Tested" at Voigtlander) and are considered to be among the shapest and very best ever made).
    The Shutter works at all speeds is
    Very accurate.
    I am sure it will produce excellent results. The camera body has no dents, dings or scratches and only a very few slight  bright marks and almost No signs of age and handling.
    The Superb Black Morrocan pebble grained Leather covering is complete and is still in Very Close to New condition.
    Really Incredible for its age (70Years)
    .
    The Satin and Bright
    Chrome plating is in Very Close to New condition. The black Lacquer paint is very close to perfect.
    Internally there are no signs the camera has ever been used ( I did test it with a roll of film before listing and it works perfectly!! ).
    The Image in the Viewfinder is clear and focusing is smooth and  accurate. There are a few specks of dust on the ground glass. The Central "Rangefinder" image is very  sharp
    .  The camera back opens and closes correctly.
    Please see all photos of the  actual camera for condition.
    Purchased in the 1960's as New  Old Stock, kept as a collectible. I used it only  for testing  before listing.
    The
    Bessamatic cameras
    were made for only a short period of time and with the highest  precision construction.
    It is considered by many
    collectors to be the Very Best  early Prism SLR camera ever made!
    With the advantage of "Flash Sync" at All speeds.  Almost
    always found in used non working condition.
    Extremely rare in this Very Close to New  and full functioning state with almost No signs of age or handling
    .
    A Really Great "Ready to use" and Magnificent display camera. From my extensive collection of rare Vintage camera that I am selling because of my age. My 100 Percent Positive Feedback over 1,900 times speaks for the accuracy of my descriptions. All my cameras are kept in my climatized humidity controlled storage and removed only for photographing and listing. Carefully Packed  shipping World Wide. Combined shipping possible. Please view my other listings of rare Vintage cameras and save the site. I will be listing hundreds of cameras over the next months.
    The exposure meter still works and is Very Accurate since the camera has always been kept covered and
    not exposed to light except for a very brief time when photographing and the selenium cel has always been covered (See Photo 3).
    There is no "hidden reserve" and my asking price is commesurate with the cameras Superb Condition.
