Took my Bessa (as well as my DSLR) to Cambodia - and so glad I did. For 'photojournalist type photography this camera with the 35mm ultron lens and a roll of Fuji NeoPan 400 is the best IMO. Link to a gallery of a training centre for poor street children and orphanage I am working on:

Having just completed the gallery of shots taken at the orphanage with my Bessa R2 using Fuji NeoPan 400, I think it is the best galery on my site - even though I own, love, and regularly use a Canon 5D.

My first roll from my new Bessa R returned a number of nice shots. The 35mm f2.5 lens is nice and sharp. Sample:
