My new (to me) Bessa-R

[Jonathan_100]

The Bessa-R with a Nokton arrived in yesterday's mail. I love it. I shot two rolls last night while out with friends. I have to say it's a great little shooter. Unobtrusive and light weight. I was surprised at how bright the viewfinder is. I shoot alot in bars and pool halls, and I had no problems. I can't wait to get the film back.

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice. I think I must have read nearly every thread on this site as to what lenses and body combinations to look for. I'll post some of my shots once they come back.

Congrats on the R. I recently got one as well and love the little thing.

Congrats!


Your post is the first I read after concluding a transaction - not too long from now I'll be the proud owner of a Bessa R as well! 😉

Congrats from me, too. It's a very nice camera, lightweigt and more durable as it seems/feels.
Have fun shooting with it.

And me too! I'm kind of kicking myself in the rear for not going with this system, and instead went with my Nikon mirror slapper. Darn, I should have listened. Oh, well. Congratulations! 😎

Ha, I saw your name Frank, and first thought you would make him sell the R and by an R3A instead. 😀

 

[Frank Granovski]

No, no. I wouldn't do that. 😀

Nice one. Have fun with the R, you've got a good rig there. Post some images in the gallery when you have time.

Enjoy, it's a great camera. Post some shots when you get the film back.
