Am I "Official" Now?

[mtbbrian]

The Blue Santa Just came!
In his bag, just for me was a brand new Bessa R2A, complete with 25, 35 and 75mm lenes!

So I guess that makes me official now!
yeah!

Welcome aboard.

LOL!
Well, this is more of a present to me.
I sold my Nikon gear, F100 to buy this one.

I'm just playing at being pathetic. I geared myself up with all that CV stuff in my signature over the last few weeks.
Santa(me) is very good to me.

You asked for it...

I think that's a great little bit of kit.
For me, the 21mm makes more sense than the 25...but if they come out with a coupled 25, I might give up the 21 for it.

I can understand that..
But what I'd REALLY like, is a 25 f/2.8!

lol. I have those same focal lengths in my line up.

 

[FrankS]

You still need a few 50mm lenses. 🙂

I am also buying a R2A and a 50mm Sumicorn. I am thinking of a wider lens too. How can I use a 25mm on R2A knowing that it has framelines for 35/50/7/90 ? I see you have an additional veiwfinder on your camera , what is this and how can I order this external viewfinedr. thanks

by the way this is my first post and hopefull soon I also will be official 🙂

You can get a 25 from cameraquest.com with the viewfinder for $275.
Make sure you get the scew mount to Leica M Mount adapter too, for $55.
