I've used a ground glass to check focus agreement, as well as shooting film of resolution charts. The focus seems fine, but the bokeh just doesn't look good. Maybe this is what a Color-Skopar gives. I have a Bergheil with a Heliar that has a nicer rendition, but it doesn't have a rangefinder and is a handful with a rollfilm back, so I'd like to carry the Bessa. Alan
