How so?  1/100" on either camera will be in the ballpark, the RF on both
cameras works.  What am I missing here?  The IIIc/IIIf is a wonderful
camera to use and the only advantage of this Bessa item is an inbuilt
light-meter.  I generally use "Sunny 16" when I am outside, at any event,
so I don't really see this as an overwhelming advantage for the Bessa.
