It may not be a Bessaflex (but then, what is, for M42), but Cosina-made. Wondering how that Sekor 55/1.8 lens performs, anyone
have this lens? |

I wonder if it is the same camera as Porst Reflex C-TL?

Really mechanical metal shutter and big and heavy but nice to use.
I think it is originally Cosina?

It's a reliably performing body with a good focus screen. I fixed a 220SL version up and put a few rolls through it. It did as good as anyone could expect. Ultimately I preferred my Chinon CM-3 but the Vivitar was nice.
Here are the specs (scroll down a bit): http://anusf.anu.edu.au/~aab900/photography/cameras/vivitar.htm
The mamiya lenses are always pretty good. Solid build. Very similar to a Super-Tak 1.8/55 of the same vintage. |

Thanks for the info, Marc, I downloaded the manual from Butkus and looks like I'll have to use a hearing aid battery for the
meter. |

or use ISO shift, lot easier, meassure proper ISO dial set with an external lightmeter. What is exciting in this cam?

Nothing, really, just wanted a native mount M42 camera, thanks for your interest.  |
