Is so tiny that it barley makes a difference in my hands. The side lug is worth it though. So much that Cosina should make a side lug accessory without the grip.

I can only second to the strap lugs - they just need a different position as they to far to the front. Also - to have a third strap lug on the bottom right (from the shooter's point of view) of the camera without the necessity of buying the trigger winder would be great too ...
And going even further - the two mounting points that could be on the right side of the camera could at the same time serve as mounting points for the hand grip - so it wold be smaller and the camera height would remain unchanged. And the tripod mount would remain free.
... so many great ideas in one post ... 😀

The biggest drawback of the Bessa side grip is that it eliminates the tripod mount. The ZI grip moves it to the correct place🙂

I'm trying to convince myself to spend a little over $100 for one of these for my T.

Style is personal, but if you're looking for something a bit less expensive, Cameradactyl sells a 3D printed grip for the Voigtlander Bessa R, L, and T series:

For me the reasoning is 95% the new location for a strap lug.

I always felt that the Voigt Side grip was the perfect companion to the Bessa R3M(A).

I prefer the Triggerwinder for the added stability due to the heft.

I'm afraid I'd never get used to winding with the trigger wonder instead of the film advance lever, it's so ingrained in my grey matter.

Fair enough, that alone might be worth the price of admission. Cameras with front-facing lugs are maddening. :bang:

ugh yeah agree -- i really want the ability to have the strap on the side like the mamiya 7ii without having to pay $200 for a trigger winder =/
