Analog film photography and cameras

Def se your point re gateway drug. Think that's the case for me aswell though I want a less expensive / precious middle ground first.

Been reading / talking about lenses with a clued up friend this weekend and I think a bessa (at least r2) and a summicron 40mm is on the shopping list

If you decide to go for the R2a over the 3, then let me know, as I've got one that I'd probably be prepared to sell.
