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.)
