My new Bessa T!

[Shooter]

I've actually had the camera about a month now, but I finally got a photo of it I can post. I really like shooting with this camera. The big, bright viewfinder is just great. I haven't got any photos taken with it yet, but I'll post some when I do. I can't wait to see how they come out. This is my first venture into the RF world. So far I'm really enjoying it.


Cheers & Happy New Year!

(I hope this comes out right, this is the first time I've tried to post with a photo attachment.)

Nice gear shot! And it looks just like mine, but which instead has a 50mm Skopar on it. Looking forward to seeing your further impressions and some photos!

Beautiful camera and I can wait to see some of your photos with it.

Nice.
I'd like to pick one of these up as a second body (more versitile alternative to the Bessa L I use now.)

That's kinda why I went for the T. After reading all the info on Stephen Gandy's web site, it sounded like the T was more versatile. Like being able to focus the fast lenses, and the 135s, if and when I ever get such a lens, Haha! And, according to Gandy, you can even mount a Visoflex on it. Wow! Lots of places to spend more $$$. 😀 Can anybody recommend a good price value/performance 135? Either LTM or M mount.

I recently picked up a vented hood for the 35/2.5, off of Xbay. I like this one because the front is threaded 52mm. So you can put a filter on the front. I thought that was kinda neat.

The Bessa-T was my first RF. I bought it a year ago and I love using it. I now have a Leica MP but the Bessa-T is still a joy to use and its extremely versatile as a second body.

I really enjoy my "T". I like the precise focusing and the finders are excellent tools for composition. I bought mine as a second body to be used with my R3A but find myself grabbing the "T" as my first choice very often.
I'm sure you'll find the "T" an excellent choice. Good luck.

I equate the T with portability.. It's ever so compact with a collapsible FED-50 attached.
