I've used a ground glass to check focus agreement, as well as shooting film
of resolution charts.  The focus seems fine, but the bokeh just doesn't
look good.  Maybe this is what a Color-Skopar gives.  I have a Bergheil
with a Heliar that has a nicer rendition, but it doesn't have a rangefinder
and is a handful with a rollfilm back, so I'd like to carry the Bessa.
