I have an Olympus OM-2000 that they converted, and it works like a champ. They do the Nikon FM-10 and Yashica FX3 bodies too, all use the same film transport. I asked them if they thought the Cosina made Voigtlander Bessa cameras might have the same transport, and thus be convertable by them, and they thought it quite possible. I am interested in checking this out... Is anyone else interested in a half-frame conversion for the Bessa (L,R, or T)? I think a T would be awesome, since one could use M-lenses on it. Let me know, if there is interest I'll pick up a body and see if they can convert it. Also, if anyone knows for sure what the three Bessas share that would help too. Half Frame is a really cool format, with a Leica lenses it would be very sweet.
