Hi everyone,

New here but long time film camera user getting back into shooting some film. To that end, I recently got a Bessa R rangefinder and noticed quite a bit of give when I press down on the film door. Other cameras I own have a little give when pressed but not as much as the Bessa. Any Bessa R owners out there that can tell me whether or not this is normal (understanding it may be difficult based on a written description of the issue only...).

Thank you!
