And yes, a camera like a Bessa R2, that is not used by a war photographer or someone banging it to hell on daily newspaper assignments, may well outlive its owner. Even if that owner is on the youngish side. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Ridings Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 10:29 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] Leica IIIc I didn't want to imply that it was. I remarked on its viewfinder being so nice, then I realized that if I looked through a newer Leica, it would probably be nice too. All of mine are old. I'm actually looking for a replacement for the CL, not for an M. I just want to use that 40mm Summicron. (Looks like the Bessa R3a is for me). Outlive me? It just might, even if the build isn't up to Leica quality. I'm no spring chicken anymore :-) Daniel On Tue, 25 Jan 2005, B. D.
