They are dissappointing, the quality seems rather poor, way off Minolta CLE and the Konica standards, perhaps inferior to the 'Voigtlander' too. The leds in the viewfinder are all but invisible unless eye squinting is carried out and the background is appropriately suitable. However it does have a cute 50's 'retro' look and does offer a 1:1 viewfinder, the frame lines are slightly fuzzy though. It feels insubstantial but then it wasn't that expensive. best wishes, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: R. Carter [SMTP:carter@andromeda.rutgers.edu] The Nov/Dec 1999 issue of Photo Techniques, which arrived today, has a "Recent News" (i.e. rewritten press release) story covering what it calls two "retro" cameras. They are the Voigtlaender Bessa-L, and the Yasuhara T981,
