What it is
{"overview":"The Voigtländer Bessa I is a folding medium-format roll-film camera taking 6x9 (and with mask, 6x4.5) frames on 120 film. Today values at auction are heavily condition-led, and what a Bessa I sells for can vary widely depending on bellows integrity and shutter health, so this figure should be treated as a floor rather than a guide price.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leather bellows against a bright light for pinholes, as replacement is the most common service issue on these folders.

Questions
Is the Bessa I the same as the Bessa II?
No — the Bessa I is the simpler scale-focus model, while the Bessa II adds a coupled rangefinder and typically commands substantially higher prices.
