I'm really tempted by a bessa R from cameraquest

Jorge, welcome to RFF; I've enjoyed seeing your excellent photos and informed helpful comments on Photo.net.

Jordi, where in the Barri Gotic is that place? Is it near the Plaza Real, upwards towards the Generalitat?

I was there in March... Barcelona is a great town to photograph!

And Jorge, I'm glad to see you here too! I've read your posts in PN as well, so welcome to this forum!

Here it is, I sent my order and paypal payment yesterday night for a Black Bessa R + 35 / 2.5 at 425 $, I was also hesitating for taking a 40 mm lens instead of 35 but the bundled price at 425 is so attractive and I did not find any 40 ltm thread.

It would be a good start ! The harder will be to be patient and wait about 1 month or more maybe...

I like very much Barcelona, and other cities like Paris, Rome, ... of course, but Barcelona have something that make this city an especial city.
Well, this photo is an expensive hotel, near the Generalitat and the Cathedral.

Congratulations, Laurent! Tell us when it arrives!! 🙂

Thank's very much Peter. I'm looking forward to hold it and also lend it to my father but I guess I should have to wait a month or more...

Congratulations, Laurent! That will be a very useful combination I think. True, I have never heard of a Leica-thread-mount 40mm lens... well, except for a limited-production 43mm f/1.9 from Pentax. Yes, LTM!

It also reminds me that Voigtlander/Cosina made a batch of 40mm f/2 Ultron lenses in Pentax thread mount (and several other SLR mounts too). 🙂

Good choice, I know that you will enjoy it.
