Here are a few from my new used Bessa R. These 3 are with the 35/2.5C .
I really like the feel of this camera. Before I received it I was not sure if I would like it after reading some reviews on how it felt. But I'm really happy with it!

Well done, Brad. I'm a new R user and like it a lot.
XP2 is a good choice in the chromogenics. See
C41 vs. HP5 & Tri-x in the Darkroom-Film Thread.
Cheers, mike
 
Yes, nice photos and congrats on the Bessa R and 35. I appreciate seeing a few XP2 photos as I am contemplating ordering some to try.
 
Brad, outstanding examples of a fine lens. Does the 2.5 aperture confine you at all? Would you use it at night wide open or in a dimly lit room?

Thank you.......As far as using it at night wide open or in a dimly lit room, I really have not had a chance yet. But I would think it should be just fine.

Brad, very nice, I especially like the last one...kinda made me feel a little homesick. I'm in DC but my heart's still in the Jersey Highlands, very similar terrain to your neck of the woods. Shot #3 just gave me an aural and tactile flashback :)

Thanks Bob....I must say they don't call Potter County God's Country for nothing! I'm really anxious to get out this spring with my B&J 4X5 press camera I traded a photographer for a couple of fly rods.
 
I picked up a J9 from a pal for $50, and couldn't be more pleased. Another fine lens. t's on my R more than the CV 35 Classic. (For now)

Jim,

How does the J-9 handle on your R? Do you have any examples of your photos with the J-9?
