Hi Andrew
The build quality has been questioned (compared to the
M Leicas or Canon LTM cameras) probably due to the use
of plastic body parts. Also, there have been problems
with focus, it seems the rf goes out of alignment
"often" -whatever that means.
Can't fault the CV lens line up, they're always
mentioned as great values.
Try this link to the RF forum-Bessa group for
additional info.
