Voigtlander Bessa R3A with 35mm 2.8

$1,700.00

This is my Voightlander Bessa R3A, it's like new, shot less than 10 rolls in it's lifetime.  One roll with the previous owner who preferred Leicas, and the few I shot over the last year.  I don't like rangefinders so I discovered.  A wonderful rangefinder camera with a built in light meter, and a 1:1 viewfinder.

Cosmetically, this camera is almost perfect.  Bad news first I suppose.  There are very very minor scuffs, like around the bottom of the back hinge, and the film view window.  You really have to look to notice.  There's also a scuff on the left front leatherette, and the film view window on the back.  Also, really have to look hard to notice.  Paint everywhere else is pristine, glass is pristine, no fungus, haze, or separation.  I think I bought the lens new.  Lens is perfect.

Function wise?  Perfect.  The camera and all it's features work perfectly.  The lights in the meter, the focus patch, the parallax correction, it's wonderful.  Zero complaints.  Lens is also perfect.  Tried flash through the sync port and hot shoe, those work too.

Comes with the lens caps (front and back), body cap, and a brand new Sony E mount adapter for the lens.  Works well, used it a few times and loved it.  My best friend took the Sony and the Voightlander lens to Colorado but I don't have sample images.  All the samples I shot on film.  Also comes with the display stand which another friend gifted to me before he knew I was selling the darn thing.  Oops.  Thanks Ellis, I appreciate it nonetheless.
