When it comes to Folenda film camera, the first thing that everyone thinks of is Heliar lens. It can be said that it is one of the must-play lenses for old lens enthusiasts and film enthusiasts.
But if you want to talk about the top lens in Bessa II, it must be the Apo-Lanthar 4,5/105 lens, excellent imaging and rare production (and there are more large format versions), and the Apo-Lanthar 4,5/105 sample is also very rare. Here I would like to thank the Apo-Lanthar sample submitted by film photography enthusiast "Edward Yu", which enriches our Bessa II sample library.

Folenda BESSA II Current price (estimated)
- Apo Lanthar 5000-8000 $ The identification method is to compare the lowest (4,5) aperture scale value with the lens - many recent APo machines are imitated with cheap versions of Helia lenses, and the main difference is to look at the position of the aperture, whether it is a 3.5 aperture or a 4.5 position.
- Color Heliar 700-950 $ (Good quality price rises)
- Color Skopar 350-500 $ (This price has not changed for many years)
- Lizard skin version about $700
