A month or two ago, I recall some discussion here about whether Pentax should consider marketing an upgraded Spotmatic - a sort of limited edition high-quality metal-bodied all-mechanical. Love my Spotmatics though I do, I think I poo-pooed the idea as something that Pentax would never do, thinking that there would be no market for it, and it would be too expensive to be worth doing.
I just noticed the Voigtlander Bessa R. A rangefinder with a metal body, all mechanical with led ttl metering, takes Leica (L mount) screwmount lenses (for goodness sake!). I think they're made in Japan by Cosina. I'm very interested! Anyone out there have any experience with them? Anyone know how much they cost?
