Voightlander Bessa 1937 -1949

• 1937: 4.5x6 and 6x9, finder with cover;
• 1945: same as 1937, some models had sync;
• 1949: similar to 1937, better shutters.

Bessa's produced after 1930 featured two ways to frame your photograph. First there was the "Eye level sports finder" located in the top of the camera under a metal hood. You would simply open the spring loaded hood to reviel two square brackets, the front bracket usually housed a glass lens that would assist in determining the actual viewing angle of the lens.
