Questions & Answers

When I saw r3a in ebay, the back of it had a print that said "made in Germany", but in the photos below there is no sign of one. They seem to be the same model, then?

The camera that I am selling at the bottom indicated the same thing I had at the bottom of mine, which said Cosina Co Ltd. I am not sure what your question is about but I just looked on ebay and saw another R3A. It is unclear when Cosina Japan bought Voightlander, but it was in the past. It is most likely that the only Voightlanders with a made in Germany tag are the very old models and they are not R3As, which are relatively later models. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you still need more information. I wish you all the best,

Selected User Reviews For Voigtlander Bessa-R3A Rangefinder Black Camera Body

R3A is a bessa
4/5

we are very happy with our purchase of this camera. We read a lot of reviews before making our decision. I think this is a great camera for those who want to shoot discretely and want to replace their autodigital cameras with a better one. Is an ointment that doesn't work.
Glasses wearers, you will see a lot of cut off in the viewfinder because of glasses. I use the one with the 40 mm focal length. A great lens from Nokton, and as the camera has 40 mm guide lines in the viewfinder, this should be absolutely perfect. Sorry, but it is very irritating. In addition to that, I found the shutter very noisey, and as I bought the camera for street photography well, once again, I was disappointed. The shutter button had a hard feel to it, so I installed the soft release button and it is so much better now, a great feeling. It feels flimsy for a Rewind. But you can make it perfect with a thick leather half case muffles shutter noises and a wide eye piece and you'll have a formidable contender. The points you make are good. * Br>At the price point, its a great deal. Unlike other methods, metering is extremely accurate. The layout of the controls is simple and easy to use. Currently, 100 rolls have been rolled in three weeks with no issues. This encourages me to take it with me as it is neither too heavy nor too large to carry it around. Could a Leica M3 be a good alternative since it is regarded as quiet, but does it have the reliability it claims? A meter is not present on the M3 either.

I consider my collection's rangefinder to be my favorite
5/5

It's so hard to choose between these two While I had an R2A, I wanted to match the frame lines of the R3A. The prices on these are reasonable, and they appear to be well made. As long as I hold it, I know that it is right.

With A Fine, Precision-Sharpening Touch Cameras are made by us
5/5

Cameras such as this one do not exist anymore, so it stands out as a modern classic. Seeing that the rubber trim panels in this car look like leather, I love them. There is a right thumb rest on the back of the camera, so the ergonomics are one of the best. There is a lever on the top left side that allows the viewfinder frames to be selected manually. This is reflected in the bright viewfinder exactly as well as the one of the Leica M6. The fact that it's a life-size one makes it even better. The number zero should be used instead. On the M6, there is a 75 mph speed limit. As a result, it is possible to keep both eyes open and compose an image simultaneously. Almost all Leica M-mount lenses are compatible with the camera Voigtlander, Leica, Zeiss, and Voigtlander lenses may be mounted on these lenses. The M39 (Leica Thread Mount, LTM) lens can even be used with a separately purchased UHC adapter. I have sold the People have called the R3A Voigtlander "the model that Leica should have built. " Others have referred to it as a more affordable alternative to the Honestly, I think it's a combination of all of them, but I think its main strength is its own success An iconic lens that stands as a classic all on its own. Voigtlander- I'm glad to see him back Founded in 1905, Cosina is a camera manufacturer dedicated to fine precision.
