I just got a Bessa T with the Voigtlander rapidwinder attached, a demo unit that was recently posted on eBay, complete with a 25mm f/4 Skopar. I'd never used a rapid winder before, it's fun, although I usually take my time, for that just-about-to-be-missed shot, you know, the one that happens .5 of a second after the shutter was released, I bet this will be really useful--assuming I have it engaged. The viewfinder situation: I am going to have to get used to buying viewfinders and changing them with the lens; right now it came with the 25mm finder so I'm okay. I have attached my 50 Summitar, via the thread-to-M mount adapter, and checked the rangefinder, which offers a 1.5x magnification, good for lenses that are wide-open. What I would like to know, from anyone else who has used the T, is how reliable it is, and any other comments they would care to make. It will take time to get used to switching from rangefinder to viewfinder, although with the 25 Skopar that isn't necessary as it does not use the rangefinder.
