Moving to Bessa from older rangefinders

[thereabouts]

Second, if you really prefer manual metering I would recommend the R2M over the R2A because of the meter readout/display. I find the meter display in the R2A a PITA and that is why I shoot AE mode 99% of the time. It also becomes difficult to see as soon as your eye is not 100% aligned on axis....

Thanks. Yes, I read something similar somewhere else also.

Ah, OK. So I don't need different ones for 35mm and 50mm lense?

That is correct. I should have clarified my comment. The Bessas select framelines manually, so it doesn't matter. However, if you ever put the adapted lens on an M Leica, or any Leica-derived camera with automatic framelines, you need the correct finder.

Cheers,

Thanks for clarifying that. Much appreciated.
