I like them, especially the footprints, the suspension bridge, and the two
girls in the snowy street. How do you like the Bessa? I have a Bessa R2 that
someone gave me a couple months ago. I'm really loving it; I wish I could
afford an old film Leica now. The Bessa is a nice camera though. The mages
from the rangefinder lenses look different than I get from my OM and other
SLR lenses.
