Bessa Choice

[mdspace]

Finally my Bessa kit is complete!
I'm so happy now 😀

- Bessa R2 olive
- Trigger winder olive
- Heliar Classic 50
- Artisan & Artist brown strap

If you have only one camera and lens option to go out, what will be your choice???

Black or silver? Or both?

 

[back alley]

jon, my zi kit is silver.
the cv kit is black.

I second back alley, but my rig is all black - when I use the ZI with the 35/2 Biogon, and there is enough light, I am 100% sure that all the lousy shots I get are entirely due to the sloppy photographer, not the eqipment.

This statement is always true.

I go out with Bessa R and CV 35/2.5

One body and one lens?

For everyday use, I love the my Bessa R and CV 35 F1.7, a very light rig to carry about on the bike.

Not on the bike, well it would be my M7 and 35 ASPH cron.

Bessa: Bessa R with C/V 28f3.5 lens (also great on my bike)

Leica M: MP with 35 Summicron

Steve,

Hello. We need to meet. I am in Sacramento as well.

 

[Bingley]

Hi Bob(konos) --

Yes, indeed. Are you around during the holidays? Send me a pm and let's try to arrange something.

Thak you everyone. 😀

I would like to see some pic of your kit.

 

[photobizzz]

Bessa-R & 35/1.7, but I have a Black R3A and Leica 90 Tele-Elmarit on the way so I may change my mind.

 

[dazedgonebye]

R3A and Nokton 40mm f1.4.

I wouldn't mind upgrading to a Z1 (black) and a 35mm f1.2 though.
