Terao said:is the J-9 rangefinder coupled? Looking for a portrait lens and this one could suit as an alternative to the VC 75...
Spyderman said:Yes, but...
normally the Bessa wouldn't couple correctly with those fast FSU lenses. Bessa is built on Leica standard focal length 51.6mm, while FSu lenses are based on Contax standard focal length 52.3mm. It would cause misfocussed images close-up and wide open.

ampguy said:A recent test I did with a recently overhaled CL showed accurate focus with 3 out of 4 LTM lenses, at wide open, and ~ 1M, the I-22, I-61, J8. The I-50 was slightly off. All were at their widest possible openings.
I didn't test how far or how much I would have to stop down the I-50 which does close focus accurately on a Zorki 4K.
