I believe it is the Super-Angulon f4 and f3.4 that interfere with the meter arm - check Bower's book or some other resource to be sure. If you have one of these 21's you are better off with the Bessa. Otherwise, get the CL - they look way cooler ;) I bet the CL meter is more sensitive too. - - marc Jay Burleson wrote: > OK, here’s my plan.
