I noticed that Johnny Deadman has a used one for sale, why don't you drop him a note? Note that the 25mm won't couple with the rangefinder - you have rely on a bit of guesswork and DOF, but don't let that put you off. If take a look at my site, you'll see at least one shot in the Architecture gallery that was taken with the 25mm on a Bessa R.
