![]() I've had the Bessa R for over 18 months now - and despite worries about some of the design points such as a plastic back and ridiculous sunken rewind it has proved to be a faithful companion. It's a good solid camera, just make sure you get the warranty on it so that if you have a problem you can fix it. I bought the grip so that it wouldn't hang around my neck at a weird angle. The plastic didn't bother at all like I thought it would. But other than that, I guess I really enjoyed it. The shutters on these cameras are far too over complicated and are just begging to break down. ![]() Now I have a nice little paper weight, since i bought it (cheaply) second hand and don't have any sort of warranty. Then, one day, the shutter started to hang open at the lower speeds. I got to be pretty good at taking off the hot shoe cover and getting it back into alignment =p. The rangefinder getting knocked out of alignment while getting moved about in the bag was my biggest complaint. It served me well for many months and was my go to camera. When I received it, it has the dreaded rangefinder misalignment, and after a bit of DIY repair it was ready to go. It was a definite step forward when compared to my "beginner" FSU body. I was very impressed with this body when I first bought it.
