Voiglander introduced a medium-format film camera at Photokina--only the second film camera to be unveiled at the world's largest photo trade show--and it's a thing of retro beauty. The Voigtlander Bessa III 667, which was jointly developed by Fujifilm and Cosina (Voiglander's parent company), is a 120/220 rollfilm camera with a collapsible 80mm f/3.5-4 Heliar lens that is attached to a bellows that collapses into the camera.

It's reminiscent of the old Kodak folding cameras but has such modern amenities as EV compensation and aperture priority autoexposure. Everything else is old-school. Pricing to be announced.
