I always wondered about the Bessa vs the Leica ? I still have my father's Agfa Ambi Silette II I leraned photgraphy with, that looks a lot like the Bessa ( A 1950 version) with a circular iris shutter, the lens mount being the shutter ring that stays with the camera...
My M6 was great but I found that it's level of goodness wasn't related to it's level of price ! I miss it, but wonder if I'm missing a good rangefinder more then one of that peculiar brand...
If I shifted back to film, I think the Bessa would my my choice for a travel, street, everyday camera (I can't easily find lenses for the Ambi-Silette!)... :-) "What can I do, What can I write, Against the fall of Night". A.E. Housman
I don't intend shooting colour film much - though slides scanned at 4000 dpi are sort of nice if you want to print on the side of the house - so it would be B&W, which I enjoy developing.
