Oh Peter, please don’t go to the big darkroom in the sky just yet. 💔😢
love those Voigtlanders...hope you can make a bunch more videos...always enjoyable. Stay strong
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!
You're so welcome!
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
Wish you all the best Peter, love your videos.
Camera looks like new!! Take care of yourself Peter. Your enthusiasm is wonderful. Hope you can keep going as we all love your videos.
Sorry to hear about your health problems Peter, wishing you all the best
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 😎.
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.
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
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
Keep going Peter, I love listening to your wealth of knowledge.
Great video, Peter, interesting camera. Best of luck on your health issues, ‘hope to see some more videos by you!
All the best for health! Thanks for the review 🙏🏽
Hang in there, Peter. Love your videos.
You videos are really inspiring. Thank you!
All the best , sorry to hear your unwell
I have enjoyed your videos very much,Thank You for all you do,may God bless
All the best from Spain ❤
It's good to hear your voice again Peter, I enjoy your videos, I learn a lot from them, they are very informative. You take care Sir!
Your videos are always a valuable tour of some fascinating cameras. Stay strong Peter.
Always delighted to see your videos!
Great to hear your valuable guidance in photography!
Please keep well Peter, I hope your health improves.

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
It's always a pleasure to watch your reviews, Pete. :D
Thanks Peter! I found one of these in my local op shop and am considering getting it
You should!
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!
Whenever I watch your video's, it's always with a smile on my face. Hang in there!! I'll be waiting for your next video..
Once again a great review. Unfortunately, I only found your channel recently, but I hope you get well soon.
Wishing you good Peter.
What a great review Pete. I hope you have more time in the little darkroom in your house though. I always enjoy your vids.
Praying for you God bless
@5:41 - distance to the object for single-use flash cube in meters. Corrected with the DIN film sensitivity.
Hey Peter ... all the best to you so that we all can enjoy your videos for a long time. The big darkroom can wait :-)
Wish you all the best, Peter!
We are not going to lose you 😢 you still young in the ❤
All the best Peter
Enjoyed the video Pete. Best wishes for next week :)
Hi Peter, keep going, here's hoping your health improves! 🙏 keep on keeping on. These bessamatics are a miracle of German manufacturing
The Color-Skopar is great, but the Septon is magic! Best wishes for you Pete! ❤️
Hope you're doing well Pete!
I have seen a couple of these occasionally for sale that looks very tidy.
Very interesting beast of a camera, looks like cracking engineering.
Peter wish you the best ❤
For frame counter it ought to be in minus two at least at the start of the film. Minus three maybe?
Nifty 50's Camera. Stay focused, mate!
Any word if Peter is ok?
YES -- I woke up this morning and I was STILL ALIVE -- A BONUS !! 87 and still going !
❤😢🥰
Do you fancy some out of date photographic paper?
Just... Stay alive, please?
Thank you for the video! Amazing mechanics it that camera.
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.
I see my Kidney Lady TODAY in Orsett Hospital -- wish me luck !
