the voigtlander bessa iii prototype's "667" marking is driving me up the wall. i mean it's so close to perfection! :bang: :bang: :bang:

i think a little email will get this out of my system, but i can't find one on their website. help!

But before you jump in, bear in mind that your numerical concerns are not shared by everyone in the global village. In a Chinese-language market, for instance, the number six repeated two or three times carries a propitious meaning and can be used to refer to things that go well or very smoothly.
 
I think camera manufacturers overdo it with placing large logos and names on their cameras, but the 667 designation does make sense with this being a dual format 66 and 67 camera.
 
sorta backhanded, i'd say. fuji got it right with 6x6/6x7. and why is it part of the name? there isn't another bessa iii to differentiate from.

on top of being unsightly, the mark is also sloppy. any graphic designer or typographer will point out that the 7 is too close to the 6. bad kerning...🙁

let's hope they fix it before production starts.

I've never heard auto mechanics discussing whether they preferred the graphics on Snap-on tools over Craftsman. Cameras are tools. If it does what you need then put a piece of tape over the offending graphics.
