This was delightful and so helpful! I just got one of these cameras and had no idea what I was doing, but I feel like I've got it after watching this. Thanks!
Peter you'll have me in tears in a minute! I wish you the best with your health. I've enjoyed your educational videos for years. Your knowledge is second to none. When I don't see a video from you in a while I worry! The lens on this one is amazing. Can't wait for the next video. The darkroom in the sky can wait. Sending you good vibes
My lockdown life saver. Thanks for making this fantastic record of your photographic experience. Keep your chin up. Look forward to seeing your next video.
I’ve got a one with a Color Skopar, but I’ve also got a 135mm f4 Super Dynarex to go with it. Good luck with your health issues, I always enjoy your videos
Hi from the US and thanks for the video. I have a Bessamatic, too, and have enjoyed it over the decades. I recently have started shooting with it again. This past summer, I shot a couple of rolls with it at Yellowstone (using my 200mm lens at times too). Good camera. I’m being bodacious and I’m planning to shoot with Fujichrome Provia 100 (slides) as spring starts to arrive soon-can’t wait 😎.
Always enjoy your videos - far more entertaining with genuine pictures & commentary than all of the super slick videos with fancy music, lots of talking and no examples of pictures taken with the actual camera being reviewed - all the best with your health issues
The numbers you were referring to (by the ASA dial) are compensation numbers for if you are using a filter. I do hope you are better, I enjoy your videos immensely!
Peter i sure hope you are doing better. Hopefully they will get your kidney function back to a tolerable level. I know I’m hardly the only person who would be sad to see you not chasing your dreams and passion. I can bet photography has kept you going for some time now. We love you my friend. Take care of yourself.
Oh Peter, please don’t go to the big darkroom in the sky just yet. 💔😢

Your health is the most important thing. You must take care of it as you only have one life. Spend you time in the darkroom on earth, not in the sky
Your videos are always a valuable tour of some fascinating cameras. Stay strong Peter.
Peter wish you the best ❤
Enjoyed the video Pete. Best wishes for next week :)
Always enjoy your videos - far more entertaining with genuine pictures & commentary than all of the super slick videos with fancy music, lots of talking and no examples of pictures taken with the actual camera being reviewed - all the best with your health issues
Praying for you God bless
Hi Peter, keep going, here's hoping your health improves! 🙏 keep on keeping on. These bessamatics are a miracle of German manufacturing
Once again a great review. Unfortunately, I only found your channel recently, but I hope you get well soon.
The numbers you were referring to (by the ASA dial) are compensation numbers for if you are using a filter. I do hope you are better, I enjoy your videos immensely!
Wishing you good Peter.
I have seen a couple of these occasionally for sale that looks very tidy.
Very interesting beast of a camera, looks like cracking engineering.
The Color-Skopar is great, but the Septon is magic! Best wishes for you Pete! ❤️
All the best Peter
@5:41 - distance to the object for single-use flash cube in meters. Corrected with the DIN film sensitivity.
Hope you're doing well Pete!
Any word if Peter is ok?
YES -- I woke up this morning and I was STILL ALIVE -- A BONUS !! 87 and still going !
For frame counter it ought to be in minus two at least at the start of the film. Minus three maybe?
Do you fancy some out of date photographic paper?
Just... Stay alive, please?
Thank you for the video! Amazing mechanics it that camera.
Nifty 50's Camera. Stay focused, mate!
❤😢🥰
Peter i sure hope you are doing better. Hopefully they will get your kidney function back to a tolerable level.

I see my Kidney Lady TODAY in Orsett Hospital -- wish me luck !
