I took this portrait recently with my 1945-50 vintage Voiglander Bessa 66 folding medium format camera. There were a number of reasons why this image should not have turned out: this is a scale focus camera (meaning you have to judge the distance), and I was shooting wide open; no margin for error. I was also pushing HP5+ to EI 1600 for the first time. But what I got was one of my favourite portraits of the year!

Great shot, really pushing the little Bessa 66 to it’s limits. I have the Certo Super-Spot Dolly rangefinder versions, but even with the rangefinder this shot would be hard to pull off, congratulations

Have you tried shooting with the portrait filter? You can use Voigtlander Focar 1 303/32 AR 32mm, I have all the instructions.
