Bessa R3A

Bessa R3A

I finally did it. Let me introduce you to my new rangefinder.

It was a close run thing between the R2A and the R3A. I went for the R3A for two reasons: the 40mm 1.4 Nokton I got with it and the life-size viewfinder. The 40mm feels very comfortable and solid. Hopefully, the glass will perform accordingly.

Now just to remember to take the lens cap off when shooting.

You can see shots taken with the Bessa R3A on Flickr.

I thought you were dead set on a Leica Jon - did I miss something in the week I was away? :)

Yes, I suddenly recalled that I don't have that much money!
