They sell the Bessa T as a body (black or silver, for about $400 
street), but not the glossy color versions, from what I've been told.

The "heliar 101" set with the funky colors is about $850.

My understanding is that the rangefinder alignment problem of the 
Bessa R has largely been eliminated by virtue of the new rangefinder 
design for the T.  (Does anyone know more about the alignment 
situation of the T?)  The Bessa T body is reportedly more solidly 
constructed than the R.

(BTW--My ltd. info. comes from the Voigtlander users group.)
Michael.
