<br />I guess I&#039;m stupid for not realizing the lightmeter doesn&#039;t work when the Ultron 28/1.9 is on the Bessa R3A....?<br />

It should. What&#039;s &quot;not working&quot; about it?

I think it&#039;s ok now. No idea why it wasn&#039;t working. Basically I got no reading from the meter when I initially put the Ultron on. Kinda had me worried that I was gonna have to use that handheld lightmeter even with Bessa. It seems to be fine now--no problem as I can see. <br /><br />BTW Stephen Gandy again proved how nice a person he is and how easy he is to work with when I ordered the M-mount adapter and 28mm viewfinder. We had some misunderstanding between our emails and I just rang him up--everything straight and he shipped the stuff that day, overnight--everything groovy.

I got my 28 Ultron from him, too. Great guy

With the 35 Nokton on order, I&#039;m thinking of selling my 35 Ultron and replacing it with something smaller. I was thinking of a CV 35/2,5 Skopar but now that I&#039;ve read Tom&#039;s praise of the 28/3,5, I might go for that instead. I like 28mm focal length on my Pentax SLR but never had a 28mm lens for a rangefinder. I would love a small 28/2,8 if CV every decided to make one.

28mm is my standard lens. It&#039;s a great angle of view for street photography...you can do the &quot;I&#039;m not pointing the camera at you&quot; thing and get your subject in the left or right third
