Bessa L?
« on: July 13, 2011, 09:40:11 AM »
So I am thinking of getting a Bessa L but I read that they can't take all m39 lenses
http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Bessa_%2835mm%29  ???

Do you guys know which lenses it is incompatible with? I am looking to put my FED Industar-61 and a Voigtlander 15mm on it. I think the Industar will do fine but for reference I just wanted to know what not to buy for it. Any ideas, thoughts, or wisdom would be totally appreciated  :D

The only one I can think of is the Jupiter 12 as it extends so far back and may well hit the second shutter - but I don't know this for sure. The other issue would be any collapsible lens.

The CV 25mm with the matching finder is a nice match for this camera - IMO.

I got an L as a free rear lens cap for my 21mm CV lens. It was a really good camera, especially with the wide angle lens.  I'd certainly recommend it.

Ya, the one I'm looking at is the rear lens cap to a CV 15mm  ;D and the Industar is from my FED 5. Its a little bit of money for me being a student and all but its soo tempting  :P
