Bessa R4 A question

[clicker]

I am wondering if any R4A shooter has used a 50mm lens on this camera, and if so was it difficult to use this combination. The majority of my lens's
are in the 21mm-35mm range, however I do use the 50mm at times.
Thanks

i used the 50/2.5 cv lens without problems.

I tried a 50mm on my new R4A and although it can be done I don't think I'd make a habit of it. You wind up with a very small set of framelines similar to 90mm framelines on an M2 or a camera with similar viewfinder magnfication. There's certainly a lot happening outside the framelines though which may be useful in certain situations!

Maybe a question for TomA ... Can the Super-Angulon-M 21/3.4 be mounted on the R4M/A ?

I don't mind a 50 on the R4A one bit. The framelines are indeed rather small, but I've had no problem using them, and it's nice not to have to wear my contact lenses to shoot a 50, for a change...glasses are no problem.
