How do the Bessas feel with relatively narrow lenses. ie. the 35mm or 50mm on the r4 or the 75mm on the r3?

I've recently bought an r4a with a 35mm lens (its in the mail, being shipped to me). I'm thinking I would really like to add a 28mm to my arsenal eventually and maybe a 50, so I figured the r4a was probably the best option due to its support of these 3 lenses. Since I currently only own the 35mm I was wondering how it will feel shooting with the r4a. Will the frame lines be too small to accurately set up my shots and focus? Would it have been much better to go with an r2a for a 35mm lens?

Cheers.
 
Actually, that is very helpful. I've never looked through the viewfinder of an R4. The 35mm framelines actually look fairly decently sized. The 50 is a bit small but I'm mostly looking forward to the 28 and 35.

Thanks!
