So get your Bessa and enjoy shooting. Cartier-Bresson might have done the
same had he lived today. I am sure he hated missing all those "decisive
moments" while fiddling with the bottom-loading of his Leica.. ;-)

While earlier versions of bottom-loading Leicas could be balky at times, the M4 and onward versions are among the fastest and easiest of all 35 mm to get up and running. I don't quite understand this ongoing knock on these cameras, unless it is a just running joke, like Planar v. Xenotar.
