Hello,
I've been thinking of the Nicca 5 body in the classifieds and was wondering what people thought of the camera and its usability when compared to M mount cameras. It seems to have some good things going for it like the easy film loading and the rewind lever. Right now I use a Rolleiflex for portraits, and am looking for a street shooter since selling my M6 a few months ago. I was condering a Mamiya 7, but am on the edge as whether or not this might make a better choice. The 50mm lens is a appealing but I was thinking of replacing it with a VC 21, 24, or 28.
Might this Nikka be a good option for me? I will be doing street and reportage/documentary work with it.

I don't think I am in need of the fastest camera in the west (coming back from shooting a crown graphic, and I also shoot a rollei which isn't super fast either. Does the body only have framelines for 50mm?
Might I be better off with a bessa body?
