I've just received my R4A - the range of lenses covered by the viewfinder is what I need. R4M would do as well.
I am thinking of purchasing a R2M...
after hours of research and "meditation" in order to take the Bessa decision I'll go for the puristic approach... (guiding meter instead of computer driven shutter)
I have run out of batteries many times while hiking (cold weather) and with R2M is possible to take pictures by using sunny-16* or even an exposure chart...
I suppose that the frame-lines 35/50/75/90 cover my needs in lenses.
...and it is easier to go wider with a viewfinder, as focusing is not that an issue in wide angles...
Thank you for reading my thoughts...
I have an M3 with a 21mm and 50mm lens. Which CV Bessa should I get to go with the M3 body? R4m for the 21? R3M for the 50? Bessa L? etc. Advise requested.
I've got a Bessa R and I absolutely love it. I knew of the plastic, lightweight feel before I bought it and had doubts about it, but I've grown to love it. It's much more sturdy than I thought it would be. Its lightweight nature is an advantage sometimes too, in my view.But the Bessa R remains one hell of a good camera. I wasn't fond of the plastic feel, but it never failed to work and its meter was the best of any camera I've ever owned, and I've been around for awhile.
