just got a bessa L and 25mm!

and damn is this wide! well at least for me - i am more of a 50mm kinda guy🙂

Its going to be a great lunch break today. its freezing cold, but the sun is shining and leaving very long beautiful shadows. 😀 cant wait to try it out, and see how the relationship to this wide angle will develop.

Have fun with that 25!

Congrats.

The L + 25 is a great combo. Lots of fun.

Sweet...another convert to scale focus! The L is a nice camera and the 25/4 is a cracking good lens. Have fun, experiment and enjoy! Post some pictures and let us know how you like the camera.

You will find the L + 25 to be surprisingly useful. There is a learning curve with wide angle lenses but once you get past it you will have a lot of fun. I was a 50mm guy, too...until I bought a 35mm lens. Then a 25mm. Then a 15mm. At this rate I won't stop until I get to 5mm! You can get addicted to wides.

.... There is a learning curve with wide angle lenses but once you get past it you will have a lot of fun.... .

I subscribe this statement.
I'm 50mm kind of guy too but since I bought a bessaL+skopar21 I use and like it every day more... but i'm still at the beginning of the curve 😱
Have fun with your new combo, I'm sure you'll have a lot fun with it.
Ciao

shooting with this lens will certainly take a lot of practice. What to do with all the stuff you see in the viewfinder? I'll definitely post my first attempts soon.

Very nice kit, enjoy, once you get the hang of the zone focusing you'll love it..

Congratulations, I love my Bessa L. I don't have the 25 though as I have the 28 Skopar and 21.

I also have the 15 although I've not used it on the L yet.

The CV viewfinders are really bright and give a good view for me with glasses.

Have fun.

congrats....I picked up a used 25mm Skopar w/ all accessories on Sunday. I fully intended to post some shots....but my developing skills have fallen back into the toilet. Gonna have to something about it...

Congratulations! The Bessa L and 25mm was my first set-up, and I loved it. The 25mm is a great little lens once you get used to the wide-angle. Look forward to seeing what you get from the kit!
