Voigtlander Bessa R with Jupiter 50mm lens

Voigtlander Bessa R

My first camera in my re-introduction to film photography was a Nikon F501.
It turned out to be a disaster — just too big and clunky, and not a very enjoyable photography experience at all.
So I got this: my first ever rangefinder — a Bessa R with a Jupiter-8 50mm lens. Totally manual.
I ordered several rolls of Ilford HP5.
