ivan_dzo Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Jeff, sorry if I'm being stupid but what is the new "bessaflex". Do you mean the leica mount bessa r3? Or is there a new voigtlander I've never heard of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan_dzo Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Jeff, now I know which camera you're referring to. Did you know that Amateur Photographer, the main weekly photo magazine in the UK, is reviewing this camera in the issue published 30th August. Might be worth looking at, as their reviews are very thorough and authorative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernando_mcsoto Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 For those of us that do not live in UK, (I left the Scotland two months ago to take a job in Brussels), it would be good if someone tell us a quick summary of the reviews. I personally bought the silver Bessaflex a few months ago and I am very happy. The reason I bought it was the massive supply of prime M42 lenses at a low costs that allowed me to have a good complete system wiithout braking the bank as I would have done completing my Nikon FM3a system with prime wide-angles and teles. Some of the M42 lenses, like the Pentax SMC or a few of the Carl Zeiss Jena are quite good. Now I wonder if prices for M42 lenses will go up as demand for good M42 lenses goes up as Bessaflex becomes more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
