Indeed it does, and the new Bessa T has some improvements in terms of
quality and fittings I believe (stronger, more rigid back door and top
plate, metal fittings). Not to mention the special edition in a choice of
colours with matching Leicavit style base mounted trigger winder. (and
collapsible Heliar 50mm!) Room for a new OM-2000 with these improvements?
