Grey Bessa

[Sumo_du_Jour]

Anyone spotted one of the new grey Bessa cameras?

Wondering if the're as bad in real life as they look in the photos on the Cosina Japan web site.

😱

Maybe he meant bad, as in good.

They look pretty nice to me, got my order if for one. It will be a limited run, much like the olive R2 so probably best to order one when you can get it new.

My taste for anything in grey has been influenced by many many hours working on a grey primer car body currently in restoration.

i can understand that then 😉 i had to restore my old tbird, but i still like gray 😀

Agphotography, I see your wanting a 12mm lens. They're fantastic, but shot composition is *critical*, it's so incredibly wide and things aren't bent through the viewfinder as much as the end result on film.

Luckily, it's a small, light package so I don't mind leaving it in the bag.

My name is down for a Grey R2A with Robert White. Delivery is in mid-August apparently. Having liked the unusual olive finish of the R2, I am obsessing about the grey finish rather more than is probably healthy.
