first post Jarms... and with nice pic.... welcome...

btw what lens captured this?

 

[peter_n]

Yes Jarms, welcome to the forum! So a lazy day here in Boston, weather not good, can post some pics of gear. I'm also posting M stuff in the Leica forum...

These three are of my new R4 along with a 24mm Elmarit.

Peter;

Does the 24 block the viewfinder?

Thanks, mike

 

[peter_n]

Yes it does Mike. I use it with the hood on and I would say the blockage is a bit more than 20% of the VF. I think many people would find this a problem but I am OK with it. In any case I'm not changing the lens I like it too much. The focusing patch is completely clear BTW.

Peter;

Thanks for your reply, guess I will have to check out for myself to see if it is something I can live with. BTW I was in no way suggesting that your swap the elmarit 24, no, no, no. Thanks again mike

 

[peter_n]

I know that Mike. I was just being obdurate.

i was there in boston yesterday
i thought it was really great...
except for the morning short shower =)
nice square hood!

 

[peter_n]

The morning wasn't that nice yesterday but it did get beautiful in the afternoon. What I ended up doing was making 19 cassettes of Agfapan 100 from a bulk roll. Next is making a similar quantity of Ilford XP2 cassettes - that is one expensive film...

 

[leegf]

Agreed. Very nice!

perfect shot!

I hope that next week I will join this club with one Bessa R2M photo ...

I haven't had film loaded in any other camera to be able to take pictures of my bessa!

Looks like we've got a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies around here...

My new-to-me Bessa R with Elmar 50/2.8.

 

[John Robertson]

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

Perhaps they aren't label snobs and just want to take pictures and have money left for spending on other things, and people
Still I suppose it keeps Hermes;Gucci;LeCroix et all in business and their share-holders happy

 

[jamxo]

Oh my...

this lens is seriously so awesome.

Hi Folks,

I just received my new Bessa R and 35mm color skopar lens setup, with nice brown leather case, per the Cameraquest special. You might consider that Stephen told me by email that these are going fast, maybe only a month's worth of supply left. Mine arrived in like two days. It's sweet.......

Watching this thread for a while, I started to get the itch, and when Zoom2Zoom posted his Bessa-L for a great price, I couldn't resist.

The body arrived on Friday, in time to get batteries for it and by Saturday morning I was shooting away.

I am using a 135mm brightline finder to center the field of view and then using whatever lens I want. Seems to work fine.

Love this little body.
