Voigtlander Bessa R2A Camera - Matte Black

The Voigtlander Bessa R2A is an improved version of the Bessa R2 rangefinder camera which in itself is an advancement over the original Bessa R camera. Several advancements upon the Bessa R make the R2 cameras a wonderful and affordable entry to the world or rangefinder cameras to compete with the Leica M Konica Hexar RF & Contax G-Series cameras. Of course all of the original Bessa R's outstanding features are retained; an exceptionally bright viewfinder quiet shutter & simple LED metering system. Many internal parts of the R2 are made of metal instead of plastic (as on the Bessa R) resulting in a camera which feels more solid and durable in one's hands. A major improvement over the R2 is the AE (Auto-Exposure) Aperture Priority mode with plus/minus 2 stops compensation on AE. The Voigtlander Bessa Series Cameras are light unobtrusive cameras that are ideal for handheld lowlight conditions. These rangefinder cameras have a smaller distance between the film and the lens mount than SLRs which makes for inherently sharper lenses. And above all else they are small.
