Bessa Porn?

i'm sure that eventually some of the lenses will find greater favour than others brian.
but for now the aim is to concentrate on the wide side of things.
the 40 rokkor is just 'on loan' to the r4m till i can afford a cle.
 
Yea Joe, really to much... dilute this a little, and concentrate on the sun and girls... great outdoors... what ever makes you tick... if you sell just two lenses you could buy yourself a ticket to somewhere... 😀

personally, i think that 15, 28 and 35 would make nice combo or even 21 and 35, you have foots to zoom in and out! 🙂
 
My R2a and 35mm Ultron, starting to get battered in places but then I use a hell of alot.

Decided to ignore tooth acke and be nice, for 1/125 or so, why did you not get the deeper hood? Bartender might have made you a good offer...

can't fathom why people would buy penthouses in London, but they do.

there is nothing wrong with Leica kit at all. for some people, i'm sure it's price. better equipment doesn't mean better photos (ok well the noctilux comes with a lifetime supply of bokeh). almost every day i see amazing pictures with FEDs and other fsu stuff - and their users are generally very happy.

with Leica, it does generally mean a lifetime of quality, but that may not appeal to everyone. i quite like the Cosina Voigtlander kit and don't mind having 2 bodies and multiple lenses. i also like my 1dmk2 and L lenses, my holga, and my seagull 🙂
 
Sadly its the status /poseurs who sometimews give Leica photographers a bad image.
A fellow poster on this site and myself came apon a superb example of this when on holiday in St Andrews Scotland ( a haven of golf poseurs in unspeakable pants ) last year.
The culprit was watching Bertram and myself taking photos. My Bessa R2 has a Leica neoprene neck strap with the red dots, only because I found it cheap and it is comfortable.
He came schmoozing across. "what type of Leica is that, I've just bought a new M7" I advised him it was a Voigtlander, he gave me a look of utter disgust " Oh Gawd - really"
I replied he should have spent some of the money on more tasteful trousers and a course in good manners!! He rapidly left along with his fat ugly wife!!
I utterly despise these types whether it is in the field of photography or anything else, the world should "dispose" of them!!:bang:

P.S. I have used Leica cameras for years, and still do, but they a just a tool and nothing else.

Looks they are about to take twenty paces turn and shoot it out?
Manners died when dueling went out of fashion, and western folks stopped sticking a revolving cylinder in trouser belt.

can't really fathom why people would own 2 or 3 Voigtlander bodies and multiple lenses, and not own Leica gear instead.

Heh, I have over 20 Voigtlander cameras (old and new company) AND have Leica gear too!

I can't fathom WHY I have either, but I have! 😀

Not everyones goal is "status" as you put it.

I didn't quite mean it like that; in fact I was being sarcastic. It is undeniable however that with the Leica name comes a certain stigma. I'm just a poor college student, so the issue is $$$.

Well I haven't posted for ages, and then saw this thread.

So here is my Bessa-T, Heliar 101 set.

Let's hope the image attaches.
