R3A logo in diferent places?

[Kozhe]

Hi everybody,

I just won a R3A auction and I wonder why in some cameras the "Bessa" logo is in the front, while others have it on the top of the camera?

Is it just a minor production change or is there any other thing I should be aware of?

I think the one with "BESSA" on the top plate is newer ones. But I am not sure if there is any difference on the camera itself.

Yes, I think the same. Its former owner bought it in Nov 2008 so I guess it´s really new 🙂
