Several years ago I bought a silver Bessaflex from Stephen Gandy - one of the last he had in stock at Cameraquest, I believe. I agree that it's a nice camera, sturdy although not quite as nicely finished as a Pentax. I used mine with the C-V Ultron 40mm f2 lens, as I could not find the C-V 58mm f1.4 Nokton I wanted in M42 mount, an extremely rare lens. It was a nice combination. Regards, Jim Also upgraded to LR5 this month. Spotting film scans is now half-way enjoyable. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
