Pass VS Present - 1939 Argus C3 RF VS 2004 Voigtlander Bessa R2A

The new Bessa R2A FINALLY arrived on saturday 3rd Jan, which made it a pretty good new years day gift for me :D accompanied with the nokton 35/1.4, and its lower price compared to its summilux brethren by Leica, makes it an awesome RF to behold (one can say mai hiam buay pai or you get what you pay for), but i think this is a better deal anytime (unless ofcourse you do professional photog and/ or churn out the big greens like not many mother's son can do) then ofcourse by all means go for the lux. (not everyone can afford a lambo or ferrari)

For easy reference, this is a comparison of the nokton VS the lux.
Image quality not that good as its small and been resized (you needa click on the pic to enlarge for better viewing). Top left and bottom right are Leica shots on the M8. Done by someone and posted on one of the forums. These 2 pictures has the unique "leica glow" that the nokton lacks. (paired with superior glass quality and made in GERMANY), you will pay about 6X as compared to the nokton. Something a NSF simply CANNOT afford...

Anyways, hope to do a test run on the R2A over the weekend.
