I disagree with Tom in that I think it is the perfect mount for the Leica super wides (21 and 24) in low light. I much too "shaky" to switch finders when using a 50/1 or 75/1.4. However my question is how good a camera is it mechanically? I assume it is going to be similarly priced to the Bessa-R and you have to keep in mind an user M can be purchased for not that much more (and that the M will last almost indefinitely with periodic CLAs). So all you Bessa users out there, how reliable has the camera been for you? John Collier
