Not at all familiar with the Bessa R. Regarding the
Leica... if you are referrinf to the current
production M6 TTL I think it would depend on how Leica
chooses to market the new M7.

If they market it as a replacement for the current M6,
then I would guess the price may increase as
collectors and users who prefer a totally manual Leica
grab up the remaining ones (assuming Leica starts
limiting production of the M6.)

However, I would guess that the initial marketing
would be to offer both the current M6 and the new M7
concurrently. Push the M7 to capture a new market
(i.e., those who are more comfortable with AE assist).

Who knows? Certainly not I. It will be interesting to
see how it evovles.

Regards,
Doug L.
