Oh NO, NOT again. But yes...

It's still a 75, so even though you will magnify the image a little 
more so that the CoC is smaller, the lens focussing will relate more 
closely to that of a 75/1.4 than a 114 in 35mm terms.

The later Bessa rangefinders are quite good, so I'm looking forward 
to trying to use some of the longer lenses on the camera.

And it's all speculation until we get our hands on one.
