Voigtlander Bessa RF with Heliar 105mm f3.5 + case

Description: Because of the camera's condition, I'm selling it in AS-IS condition, no warranty and no returns! A Voigtländer made Bessa (RF) medium format folding camera from the 1930s, with top spec and most desirable Heliar 105mm f3.5 lens! Due to it's condition, I only recommend this camera to enthusiasts who are looking to change out their lesser Skopar or Helomar lenses to this Heliar 105mm f3.5 lens on their good condition Bessa RF bodies, which is a very simple task! Unfortunately this unit has a handful issues, which are:Long shutter speeds run slow – needs cleaning and adjustmentRangefinder is misaligned – needs adjustment (probably both horizontal and definitely vertical)Lens has dust, haze and smudges (pictured) – needs cleaning, photos attached, definitely judge for yourself!One front cover extension arm is bent upward (pictured) – cover can only be closed or opened if that top arm is pushed down with a finger to clear the body frameThe knob on back plate to close the 6x9 frame counting window is missing, because of this, there is a clear hole through the back plate6x4.5 reduction mask is missingThe auxiliary 6x4.5 film counter window is open even without the reduction maskBellows smell oldOriginal yellow Voigtländer Moment filter is missing, but at some point it was replaced with a yellow glass filter which is in poor condition nowSome upsides:Lens has no fungus, and at most just a few scratches – photos attached, definitely judge for yourself!Bellows are light tightAperture works smoothly and has no oil on itComes with original leather caseFilter holder is in good conditionRangefinder double image is decently visibleLeatherette is in decent conditionThanks for looking!
