My camera came today from Camera Quest. I am impressed with what Cosina has done with this. As has been noted, there is a certain 'heft' to the body. The Nokton looks very nice. The instruction book could have been better. But that's a minor thing. The ASA window could be a bit bigger, too. (old guys like me)There are subtle differences between it and a Leica, of course. The lettering on the camera is a bit cheaper looking compared to Leitz. But, for the money, I am not complaining. John

John; Good luck with the Bessa R2. The Bessa series are very light weight cameras. Go shoot up some film and learn what the camera's limits & strong points are
