I love seeing Jason in Bad Flashes videos and Caleb in Grainydays videos, it feels like a constant crossover episode

[@GlaciaDay]

I have a Zeiss Ikon ZM and a Voitglander R4A, I actually prefer them over my Leica M6, faster shutter speed, lighter body, larger and brighter rangefinder, aperture priority mode; also somewhat cheaper compares to Leica bodies.

[@chrissybabyist]

You know you’re living right when UA-cam rolls right from grainydays into bad flashes… nice shots, looked like a fun trip.

[@tylerholbrook8634]

I shouldn't be allowed to watch your videos as I am dangerously close to spending money I don't have on another film camera I don't need 😭

[@haydennelson9404]

I feel like you have hacked my Google account because you seem to upload a video about what I was googling about 2-3 weeks later. Creepy.

I picked up my Bessa-R about four years ago for the sweet price of $110 and I immediately fell in love with it, it was my second LTM rangefinder but my first upper end model (I was using my Zorki 4 at the time) and afterwards I ended up with a few FEDs three Leicas and a Canon model 7 but it's still one of my favorites. Absolutely cannot go wrong with the Bessa-R series. LTM Gang all day.

[@erwinc.9117]

The LTM Bessa R was my first rangefinder, and I still hold it in high regards. Great camera that works like a charm for cheap.

Oh the Bessas. Was really torn between an R2/R2M in olive green and an M6 back then and picked the latter, though was a really close race. Ace video and don't worry, you got me cracking a smile with that bessa camera joke, even if it's just because it sounds like the German word for better. 🙋‍♂

[@GOLDDYNACO]

Bessa R(2)'s are great shooters, no doubt!! But with a Canon Serenar 50/1,8, You, Sir, can go full circle and have a Canon P, or according to CameraQuest the best; Canon L1 or VL! Voigtlander of this class is after all a plastic Cosina.

[@ReimannPembroke]

Loved this one dude! LTM is the way. I have been rocking my Canon P for so long now

[@wishbon77]

Thanks for this video I’ve been waiting for someone to make a good video about this camera

[@dustysprockets1505]

Had both a Bessa r and an Olive R2 (sexy colour scheme) but sold my soul for an m6. Genuinely miss the R2 sometimes with its unique features. Great video dude!

[@sneakingelephant]

love the video. your humor is so well timed

[@banyan6784]

So glad to see new caleb joined you guys at

[@gatsbye53]

Friend of mine has the Bessa R2A, solid, solid camera. Love the blue & yellow on yours!

[@SYNCOMicrophones]

I really like its vintage colour!!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Aww, so close to first. Thank you for validating my bad collecting habits as well.

[@sunrisewow3077]

I love that SantaColor 100 film that you used in this video Caleb. It works well with the Bessa

[@Tahmaders]

I've been waiting for this video! 💙

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

That camera looks awesome! Great shots btw, well done!
