I think I've all but decided to pick up a Bessa R2. I notice that I can also pick up an M42 to M (bayonet) adapter and use a couple of my wide screw lenses (24mm, 35mm) on the Bessa. Of course, they won't be rangefinder coupled, but with the depth of field they offer this isn't an issue. I figure I should buy at least one or two Voigtlander lenses to flesh out the kit. Most likely the 50mm 1.5 and the 90mm 3.5 APO. It doesn't appear that Voigtlander makes a 24mm viewfinder but I figure I can just use the 25mm. Has anyone heard the shutter on the Bessa R2? Stephen Gandy says it's louder than a Leica but more like a "quiet SLR." -Brendan MacRae - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
