R2A/R3A exposure lock

[thedilettante]

G'day all

Are there any "left eye" people using the R2A/R3A ? I'm thinking of upgrading from my Bessa R but as a lefty I'm concerned that the exp. lock button might be difficult to use because of its location. Is it also possible to lock exposure by depressing the shutter half way ? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

Nope, you have to use the button.

Hello,

I use a Bessa R3A and depressing the shutter half way will not lock the exposure, seems
that only depressing the exposure lock button will do it.
I normally shoot left eyed with the right closed, from habit, SLR , habit, but I tried right eyed with both eyes open and it works quite well, I could even get used to it. And I would half jokingly say if your nose don't get in the way I doubt that your thumb will.

Good luck, Dave
