Bessa Porn?

chrome on black looks supreme.

Have to agree with that!

I quite like black cameras but don't really prefer them to chrome or silver ... a black lens on a black camera is just plain too much black for me ... but silver cameras with chrome lenses look classy and chrome lenses on black cameras also look very good.

I'm partial to chrome-on-black myself. Bessa T with Elmar 50/3.5:

I understand taping a Leica but not so sure about taping a Bessa. Don't you tape a Leica so no one thinks it's a Leica? So do you tape a Bessa so that people think it's a Leica pretending not to be a Leica?

no one that would recognize a Leica would have doubts on a CV not being a Leica

it's more about not sponsoring anyone and giving the thing a "used and rough" look, they simply look more like a tool to outside viewers

This is the nicest looking R2 I have ever seen.

why many Bessa's model name are covered with black tape?

it's to avoid "racial prejudice"?

Not quiet sure why I've not posted anything here yet. So, to rectify that, here is what I'm using today:
Bessa R, Jupiter-11, vintage 40.5mm tele-hood.

That's a gorgeous anachronism. A camera made in the last decade with parts from another era making it look like a 1950's view of a camera from the future.

Not my photo, not my 24mm Elmarit and the picture isn't even of me... but it is my Bessa.

This is where it all started:

There have been quite some additions to the family since...

But it´s hard to find a more beautiful family member!
