Must be pleasant.

@@SamuelStreetlife new slogan for those who almost got a Leica haha
Bessa users unite! I have the T, the quirky one that only has a rangefinder window, and you must suppy a hot shoe viewfinder for your lens focal length. But I love it! The rangefinder is bigger and brighter than any you'll get inside a viewfinder, and I shoot zone focus a lot on the street without the rangefinder distracting me by suggesting a different focus than I've chosen (at f8-f11 and a 35mm lens, who cares?). Also the meter is at a glance down, rather than having to bring it up to my eye. Even the loud shutter has its charm! (?)
Bessa cameras went for cheap couple of years ago but are now harder to find and prices went up significantly. Since Leica M film camera prices went through the roof, the Bessa ones came behind and experience the same trend now. IMO the Bessa R4M model with the 21 mm frame lines is probably the best addition to a Leica.
Enjoying the banter and dynamics between you, Alex and Ulysses
Love the shutter sound!
Bro, that shot of Alex on the prowl and snooping for the shot in the opening - I died.
Yea, what a goof! Instantly liked his personality
@@AlexsaurusRex same here, subbed to his channel straight after this vid. Although, your name is pretty sus - are you him? Haha. Also, you’ve done pretty well to get that account name!
@@james.shafiei Nothing so dastardly lol. Just a run of the mill "Alex" here
That Bessa R2a is super nice!
Haha love the episode, Bessa R is great 😍
Just bought the r4A. I really enjoy aperture priority mode n the wide angle frameline. And the other advantage I get from the camera is that the frameline is about .5 magnification which I can use without issue with my glasses on
Bessa r is awesome but it’s hard to find...
Alex such a troll, lmao. Grats on that camera!!
Always looking forward to your videos hehe
Always appreciate that :)
Bought an Bessa R2 Olive in the early 2000s. In 2020 I sold it used for quite a bit more than it cost me back then. Used film camera market is crazy!
Ya I know right? tbh I could probably resell this camera for more than what I bought it for. That's why I knew it was a safe-ish buy. Besides me actually liking the camera and wanting to use it regardless.
@@AlexOnStreets I loved that camera. I had it with me on interrail all acros Europe, and fed it a steady diet of Tri-X 400. Had two Voigtländer lenses. A Nokton 1.5, and an Ultron 1.7. Ah, the memories. It was hard selling it, but I'm all digital now and I'm done with film :)
You guys are sick 😂
Great camera.. I had one, but replaced it with an M6 TTL. I guess that'll be next 🙃
Aperture priority alone makes the Bessa R2A/R3A/R3A far more agile and versatile than any Leica M film camera (apart from the M7). Just set your aperture, zone focus and use it like a point-and-shoot.
How? Do I need a new lens for that? bc I only have old lenses
@@waveril5167 You can use your existing M-mount lenses. The Bessa R2A, R3A and R4A have a TTL meter and can automatically set the shutter speed based on the meter reading.
Bessa gang 🤘🏼
What camera would you recommend between a minolta cle or voigtlander bessa r2a? I'm having trouble deciding.
They're still available?? 😳 I can't even find them on eBay just one or two available on ebay!!
the good thing about my r2 is i dont fear breaking it (rip my rf35)
very, very competent camera and can use the zeiss zm lenses that are just *MUAH*
You guys are amazing
Haha thanks man. There is more coming soon...
could i shoot with a 21mm on this camera? how would i use the frameline settings with it?
What can you make of a camera that is part Nikon and part imitation Leica and calls itself Voigtlander?
I mean, you get a thumbs up for the thumbnail alone 🤣
Now I know what content Gajan wants to see on my channel going forward.. got it. ;)
@@AlexOnStreets Was it ever a secret?
Is that lens funleader 18mm f8? 05:23
Can you move to Japan so we get this sort of content all the time? Thanks.
Someone needs to pay for my mortgage in germany then :D Trust me I would love to...
@@SamuelStreetlife You should 'offload' that mortgage, mate.
I got a Bessa R2M a few years ago and have since added the winder bottom to it which is pretty cool. Bessas are now worth 3X what I paid (not that I would sell)
Yea internet fads killing deals. I want another FM3A but because there are youtube videos claiming it's the best slr... I paid $800 new inbox in 2018. They are now around $1500 near mint. I wish people figured out photo quality depends on the lens and film stock but often they are spec sheet nerds buying these late model cameras.
It must be sorta nice.
Can u make a video with some mini speedlights???
Send it this way haha!
Whats the camera strap he’s using on the bessa?
Do the frame lines move for parallax correction while focusing? Thanks!
Yes they do
Clicked only because of the thumbnail
I want a Bessa! So what's a good price?
I‘m allergic to plastic... 4:02 😁
Hehe
I have an R2 and it’s magnesium alloy, not plastic.
Where's my voigtlander sponsor
LOL what a video! xD
Would a LEICA 35mm 1.4 fit on that BESSA? That would be MAGICAL.
Prices on these Cosina made cameras have shot up in recent years. People call it a a Leica alternative and they're correct. Leica is overpriced and the lenses are just ok. The Voigtlander prices are too high for a Cosina camera but I'd use the Voigtlander over a Leica.
That has to be the sexiest thumbnail on CZcams. Nice pick up Alex but Leica has the greatest rangefinder of all time lol jk. Just shows you don’t need to spend thousands to enjoy photography.
What's that tiny lens he swaps at 5:25 ??? 🥺
That must be a funleader lens :) Alex has a review of it on his youtube channel
Must be nice...
sold mine before the prices went up.
4:55 uncle walking down the alley just checking back (twice!) in hopes that you'd perhaps take a street shot of him and feature him on a magazine or something. lmao
imagine putting the camera inside the bag for most of the time.
I am looking at one, and it's $1500 in very condition...
気のせいかもしれませんが、alexが中学生の時の英語の先生にとても似ています(5年くらい前？)。名前も同じ🧐
It’s “Leica” CLE 1:32
That‘s what I heard too😂
“It’s like a cle”
“REALLY??”
“it’s SIMILAR to a CLE”
at least he's got a Leica bag lol
Most of people paid Leica for the Brand which is freaking Pricey. I personnally Don't care about it, I care about the Functionality.
This aged wel lol
Like a Leica
Haha
Leica Summilux 50mm f1.4 ASPH v2 black 6-bit coded built in lens hood made in Germany isn't that cool BENJAMIN!
@@AlexOnStreets 😏😏😏😏
Im already done with the CLE image
Leica ist gut aber Voigtländer ist Bessa!😆 Everyone who had a Bessa on youtube sold it and then bought a Leica anyway. Maybe Alex will do a review about it. 😀
I will! ;)
Not a Leica... Unsubscribe
Volcom shirt... Subscribe
That was close... 🤣🤣😜
Had a R4M and absolutely hated the strap lugs on the front. Throws the balance of the camera off and is just an awful design. He'll get rid of it.
Damn you're right. Sold my Bessa already. Picked up a mint M7. Strap lugs really make or break the camera. Anyways.. back to putting more gel in my hair.
Bessa... 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
This is my offended face.
@@AlexOnStreets I bet you he's never even handled one! I got to try one once and it was very nice. They've really gone up in price compared to what they used to be. Voigtlander should make more of them.
I can't stand that Alex guy for some reason, will skip future videos including him.
Please stop doing video about gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please please....
Back the potato vlog or something abot photography and taken shots!
Now I see degradation of chanal...
Good or nothing please
More gear videos please. Especially don't do a vlog with actual photography next. I know we recorded days worth of doing photography but please delete them! BORING! ;)
It's a pandemic, it's hard to do photography videos in the same way. It will happen again. Be patient. In the meantime, enjoy the excellent personalities of our hosts.
