intermediate half-stop shutter speeds

[pab]

Has anyone tried setting shutter speeds at half stop values in between the full stop clicks on their Bessa?

Nope, but I was wondering if the R3A/R2A have stepless shutter speeds when using aperture priority exposure.

That's a coincidence, I was going to post about the same thing.

I've noticed that I have to move the aperature ring one and a half-stops to get the shutter speed to change sometimes.

as mentioned in the instruction booklets, mechanical Bessas do NOT have intermediate shutter speeds between click stops.

The R2A / R3A DOES have stepless speeds between stops. the display in the finder is rounded off, and so does not indicate the exact shutter speed between stops.

Cheers Stephen, I really should have read the manual.
