I have a comprehensive bessa R outfit and now I want to sell it to finance a growing Leica M outfit. The problem is that the new Bessa R's are being heavily discounted and consequently the re-sell value is much lower than anticipated. The Bessa is a fine camera but once you've handled and used an M6, you will probably wish that you had one. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had gone straight to the Leica M. In the long term, it would have been much cheaper!
