Here's my somewhat special Bessa R. I bought it used about 2 months ago and I've put around 60 rolls through it. I love this camera.
I'm a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and I recently was given the chance to participate in a Magnum event, along with around 50 of my classmates. I ended up spending two weeks working with Larry Towell (check his work out if you have not already), and at the end of the event last night I asked him if he would sign the bottom of my camera, which he graciously did for me. So my Bessa has an original signature that reads "to Andy with thanks . . . Rochester, NY 28/4/12 Larry Towell." Pretty sweet! Attached is the photo of the signed Bessa.
Cheers!

What do you use now? Why did you sell after a year?

Great combo Jared. I just did the same about two weeks ago with my R2. Haven't developed anything from the J8 yet.
Leica M8.2 and Voigtländer Color-Skopar 18mm f/4 LTM:
Wow, never knew this was even around...

This just arrived today
I originally bought the Biogon to use on my Sony Nex but found it too long (52.5mm equivalent) & the Bessa seemed a sensible option to use it on 35mm.

The main annoying characeristic of a Bessa camera is the shutter sound level. It alerts everyone in the neighborhood (so to speak) that I have taken a photo. I am today using a Canon 19mm on a Bessa L. The built-in meter is very useful.
