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. The Voigtlander Bessa R4M is a rangefinder camera designed with the wide-angle shooter specifically in mind. It has built-in parallax projected framelines for 21 25 28 35 and 50mm lenses. As a result you no longer need to use an external viewfinder mounted on top of the camera. This means that you can now both frame and focus directly from the built-in viewfinder eliminating the need to having to move your eye to a separate viewfinder. Besides for the wide-angle viewfinder of the R4A camera all other features are identical to the Bessa R3A. 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 R4 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. This camera features a mechanical shutter release. This makes it possible to use the camera even without batteries albeit without metering.
