Hello from me.

No CV bodies but I do use a 40/1.4 single coated Nockton and a 21 Skoper.

I love my Bessa R2a, which I've been using for the last 5 years since discovering the wonderful world of CV. I also have an L body plus a 21/4, 25/4 and 75/2.5. (Although I have to admit my 50 and 35 are by L**** and Z**** - :whistling:

).

I'm completely new to range finders and just recently took the plunge when I picked up a Bessa R with a Canon 50/1.8 and then a Skopar 35/2.5
So far I'm liking it, although I must admit that it strikes me as an in between size. It's not a pocket camera, the way my Fujifilm Klasse is. But if I'm going to string something around my neck I'm tempted to go with my Spotmatic since I have a whole bunch of Takumar lenses and they are a lot cheaper than LTM lenses. What would you consider to be the selling points of a range finder like the Bessa R over a small SLR like the spotty?

Well it looks as if everyone here has gone on to other forums.

Is this a dead group? It seems like no one has posted in a long time.

Well, here goes! Seems like everyone but me has sold their Bessa's. Too bad, I have a Bessa R and next to mt Canon P's it's a favorite. An assortment of M-39 lenses include A j-12. a j-3, czj-5cm, canon 50 1.8, c-1.9 ind 5cm , a Canon 35 2.8 and others I just don't use much. I really like the smallness of this unit w/the ability to use my other lenses.

Just joined I have 4 An r2 , L , T , and a Bessa III... the Bessa III is a horse... like the 6x7 format best of all ... the T is my favorite of the 35's.... need a 15 for that baby and will get one soon... the 25 is good...traded my 15 to an old friend for a 5x7 with holders, film and all the stuff... lenses too.... loved that guy....guy died soon thereafter. Best friend for a lotta years. Miss him lots. T is best 35 ever made, I think. Hard worker, too. I'm mainly a medium format worker now. I'll add some photos later on,

Logan, again.... sorry... I left out my favorite Voightlander, my R2S....how could I do this? This beauty is, of couse, the copy, so to speak, of the Nikon S2 with some improvements. It is a super camera and I love it. Does it all really. Cannot think of an improvemnt I would make on the body. It does not muchlike the 21mm lens for some reason. but apart from that it is really super...
