In the preceding paragraph, you mention that the rangefinder of the Bessa R is superior to that of the M. Would you elaborate on that and let us know why the M is playing second fiddle to the Bessa R, in your case. Let me add that I'm not trying to start a flame war, nor is the above intended to be partisan or inflammatory. I'm just curious. Guy Bennett Los Angeles, CA
