Lou_Meluso Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 <p>Tony, That is also my current fav RF set up. The Bessa-R is so light! The finder is better than just about anything. Add TTL metering and top Canon lenses and you have a mighty nice shooting rig.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 <p>Thanks Louis, nice to have a modern camera and lightmeter for all those nice LTM lenses. A lot of people criticize the Bessa cameras for their "plasticness" but they have a great viewfinder/rangefinder and excellent meter...what more do you need?<br> Love that Nikon F and 21mm lens!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_chuang1 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 <p>Great find, Andy. I thought the weekend was going to be a bust CMC-wise, but today was a beautiful autumn day and I got out to an agricultural (mostly) fair with a really beat-up plain prism Nikon F loaded with Fujicolor 100 and 50/1.4, 28/3.5 and 105/2.5 Nikkors. (Non-USAns, today is Columbus Day in the States, making this a 3-day weekend.)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Collins Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 <p><strong>Rick</strong>--I hope you share some of those shots!<br> <strong>Peter</strong>--I hope you also share some of your shots, but also a shot of your camera. That sounds like a nice, challenging shoot.<br> <strong>Brian</strong>--Nice looking cameras, but a clear viewfinder wins every time for me!<br> <strong>Mike</strong>--Good things always happen with you and Minoltas!<br> <strong>Dennis</strong>--The Compact Deluxe is a really nice camera with a wonderful lens. Have fun with it!<br> <strong>Tony</strong>, <strong>Bela</strong>--What beautiful, drool-inducing cameras! The Canon lens on your Bessa <strong>Tony</strong> is one of my favorite lenses. <strong>Bela</strong>, any F with the standard prism is a beauty to look at, let alone a pleasure to shoot.<br> <strong>Michael</strong>--Thanks! I hope you were able to capture some Fall color with that F outfit.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_m.1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 <p>Do the viewfinders in range finders cameras <em>have</em> to be hazy or is it just old age?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
