Hi, Chris, Thanks for your thoughts and input. I didn't mean to imply that these were "Leica-like", especially given their prices. They look and sound like very cool little cameras. I simply mentioned that they were plastic, because I had originally received wrong information that they had metal bodies. It would be nice, but at those prices something has to give...
I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for one (an R, I think). thanks, frank Chris Niesmertelny wrote: > Frank, I own the Bessa L (no rangefinder/needs an lens-specific viewfinder) > with the Snapshot Skopar 25mm f4.
