I own a bessa 66 with the hight end uncoated heliar, compur rapid and frame counter. The lens is O.K., not very sharp nor very contrasty, but usable. Specially in color, it gives very pleasant images. The problem I have with this camera is shutter release shake. When you press the shutter lever you feel some resistance, but when the shutter is tripped and the interlock mechanism released, this resistance suddenly disappeared, with the result of camera shake and blurred pictures. I have tried many different techniques to try to avoid this, with no result. I would like to know if this is a common issue with this camera, and if there is some way to prevent it. I would be happy to disconnect the frame counter, and use the ruby window if this helped. Thanks in advance
