Just ordered the Bessa-T

[Tuolumne]

He also has a nice blue one for $1200. (Drooool)

Should I get it?

/T
P.S. I bought my "T" from Stephen for $189. Quite a bargain considering I prefer to use it over all my other film cameras now.

Tuolumne,
Wow. I guess there is someone that likes the T even more than me. I love my Bessa-T but I can't say that I prefer it over my MP or vice-versa. I waiting for an M3 and I must confess that the thought of getting rid of the T has crossed my mind but it is such a good camera. It really excels as a companion to another rangefinder. Once one gets over changing the external viewfinders and the parallax compensation, the Bessa T may be the handiest little rangefinder out there.

I don't like the Blue/Yellow 101 Jahre model. There is something about the colour combination that makes the camera seem more like a child's toy. The black 101 Jahre model is dead sexy though. One of the best looking cameras I've ever seen.

Colyn,
Has the Canon 50/0.95 arrived yet? I'm dying to know if it works with the T because I want one too.

Not yet..

I'm thinking about calling Ken Friday to see if he can give me a time frame. In addition to the 0.95 he still has my M3 and 28mm Elmarit lens.

I've been missing the M3.

I used the Bessa T extensively for lens testing. I was able to accurately focus the Noctilux 50/1.0.

Correction: The Canon 50/0.95 that Iwas given needed to be mounted on a Canon 7.

Ok, now I know that the Canon 50/0.95 works on the I'm going to put it on the 'to-get' list. Someone I met through the CV list told me that the big Canon would cover up the rangefinder windows on the Bessa-T.

Nando: I made an error above. I did not use the Bessa T with the Canon 50/0.95. Don't start shopping!

I was told the lens may cover up the rf windows. I won't know till my lens comes back and I give it a spin..

Ok, I put an asterisk beside the Canon 50/0.95 on my list.
