Hi all,
I drove my Bessa R2A in the car for few days (just to and from work) and when I got it out of the car today, I noticed very strong barrel distortion in the VF!?!? I noticed it when I wanted to shoot a shop window - all of a sudden everything looked as if it was laid over a barrel!?! If the camera is not pointed directly to a flat surface, i.e. a wall, the view through VF looks normal, but anything flat and it displays the distortion?
I checked the RF alignment and everything looks ok and it measures the distance just fine. I looked into the VF and I don't see anything separated. I also shook the camera, but no unusual sounds are coming from it.
So, my question is, is what I see normal and I just haven0t noticed it earlier, or did something get messed up in my camera. I'd hate that, because I really love the camera...

Anyone willing to share their experience?
Hi Domagojs, I see what you mean, my 2A lines in the viefinder show also a distortion, nothing to worry about, more annoying is the patch thats never fits fine, i tried two times to align it, but it comes always back and i see 2 images when in focus
