Great sensor in that Bessa, Martin
The coolest thing is that you can switch to whatever sensor you like! Shot one roll of Ektar and one roll of Tri-X today. ISO 100 is just a PITA with medium format and such a slow lens. I had to go down to 1/15 second for a wide open shot in a forrest. Handheld, of course.
Well, a Hasselblad is all over that advantage. I have to admit though, that even though I own two backs, I tend to use just one at a time. And I agree about ISO. I was shooting Tri-X in my 203FE with the 110/2, and I had to go down to 1/30s on occasion. This was just shooting in a park, sometimes in the shade, on a normally bright summer day. Unreal. I think I might shoot it at ISO 800 and see what happens. And then overexpose by one stop, just to be sure

ISO 800 is a piece of cake with Tri-X. You don't have to shoot underexposed for a whole roll. Just lower exposure when needed and develop for 400.
