Swing back's good too. Refer to the old posts about the LTM cameras I asked about for more information... Only thing is that the Bessas are noisy...

Is the Bessa as solid? No. But my guess is that it will outlive you, unless you plan to use it to hammer nails. B. D. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
