Hello all!

I was given my Grandfathers camera, a Voigtlander Bessamtic with original leather case and a Skoparex 1:3.4/35 lens and Septon 1:2/50 lens with case.

I'm comfortable with using a DSLR and with a handful of advanced camera settings but this camera and how to use it is a bit lost on me. I never learned how to use a film camera and its a bit intimidated, especially given the age.

I'd love to know where to look for having it serviced or just a once over to see its condition. As well as some assistance in how to use it.

I'm in the Tampa area if anyone knows anyone local.

Thanks!

Surely Tampa has a local camera store you could take it to and get checked out. Google is your friend.
