The Bessa-L is not a rangefinder like the -R.
Chris
Ralph,
It wouldn't make any sense to get a Bessa-R with the 25/4. That
lens isn't rangefinder coupled.
What would make sense is to get a Bessa-L with no finder (but a
meter) from B&H for $130 and a used 25/4 for ~$250 w/finder off Ebay
as those who just got the new 21/4 sell their 25/4's. So you get a
take-anywhere body, with a meter and a state-of-the-art
super-wide-angle lens for <$400. Not a bad deal for the quality.
BTW, I have a 25/4, and it's a fabulous lens; easily the equal in
performance to my Zuiko 24/2.8.
You could also get a Fed or Zorki. I have a couple, neither cost
more than $50, and produce fine pictures. But there's no meter.
