Kinda like the Rollei TLR and Yashica TLR thing a bunch of years back.  Why
risk a great Rollei when a Yashicamat would work almost as well.  So, you
don't have the great Zeiss lens, which does beat the socks off a Yashica in
an 16x20 or larger, but if you destroy the camera, you can get three more
for the same price.  Only with the Bessa you still do have the great lenses.
