Looking for a bessa r2 and it's variants or a minolta cl/cle. Need a body for my single M lens. Cosmetics are not important as long as it works. Pm me with details and offers. Thank you.

Get the Bessarabia, CL broke my heart twice before and after expensive expert shutter servicing. I traded it on a ShenHao, so it’s likely out ther waiting to break another photographer’s heart. I’m typing here where hanging above me are some of my best photographs made with that CL and the 90mm M elmar ... saved the one shot of my son’s footprints by a crop and heavy burn to even out the dragging shutter...theses are before photos.. it let me down a number of months later post CLA in the snow... fleeting images of my kids’ snowy fun...

Oh I had a Bessa kit too... decent stuff, I used it with an RD1.... when that went wonky, I sold it all.

I recently got a Leica iI and another 90mm Elmar.. that’s such a great lens. My 50 is a Canon Sernar as Crons that Do or Don't affect image quality are too spendy... those Voitlander screw and M lenses are well made and perform well too. Cheers
