Subject: [Leica] Half Frame for Leica Glass


There is a camera repair shop here in town that does a super conversion 
to half-frame on Cosina made SLR bodies 
(http://www.procamerarepair.com/products.htm).  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.

Thanks,
