I put a rool through it and decided that I would use it often rather than put it in a display case. I went out an bought the 75mm Voigtlander viewfinder and I finally have a combination that I can reliably use the 75 summilux. I use this camera with the 50 Heliar (which is an excellent lens...) the 12 mm Voightlander and the 75mm Summilux. The rangefinder on the Bessa T is great for the 75 due to the magnification. I particularly like the 75mm and I was having lots of trouble with the lens on the .72 M6. I'm looking for a source of jewelry pouches for the viewfinders.... I'll be taking this combo along with the M6, 35 summilux and the 90mm Tele Elmarit with me to Japan/Singapore next week. I like the Bessa T quite a bit. It's a great addition for a Leica collector and a great camera in its own right. The onboard meter is quite good and the overall feel of the camera is good, but not Leica good.... The 50mm is a little unnerving until you lock it in the extended position. It wobbles quite a bit when in the collapsed configuration. You certainly won't be disappointed with the quality of the images, but keeping track of viewfinders can be a real drag. Have fun. Tom Lianza Technical Director Sequel Imaging Inc. 25 Nashua Rd.
