<p>Ditto on the Bessa III 667. Really easy to carry around and compact. Great viewfinder.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your responses. My decision seems to be between the Voigtlander Bessa III and the Mamiya 6 or 7 and I think the answer from reading these responses is: what will I be using the camera for? I seem to leaning more toward the portability and compactness to use for travel. Having a camera that can be folded up to the size of a paperback novel that can be put into a small bag or side pack seems really appealing and if I had my preference, I would have liked to have seen Cosina/Voigtlaner offer something in the size of a Zeiss Ikon (6x6). The ability to switch from 6x6 to 6x7 is also alluring.<br>
I've used a Voigtlaner Bessa R2 and have found that the build quality was suprisingly good and the optics to be darned good if not excellent. There are a number of reviews that will attest to this. So, in any case, I would expect the Bessa III to be quite good and well thought out.<br>
I appreciate the comments from those who have actually used the Voigtlander Bessa III and the Mamiya 6 or 7. and who have heard good things about this camera. Thank you!<br>

The difference between the Ultravid and the Trinovid is that in addition to the high degree of Leica lens multi-coating, the Ultravids also have a highly reflective prism/mirror coating. Side by side, the Ultravids will be a bit brighter. Optical clarity/resolution is the same. Trinovids have an aluminum body, Ultravids are magnesium and lighter. Both are a phenominal piece of glass. Which ever way you chose, you will not be disappointed.
