Voigtländer Bessa R3A 35mm Rangefinder Camera – Leica M Mount – Excellent Condition (tested and working)

Included items:

- Voigtländer Bessa R3A camera body (M mount body cover, Hot shoe cover, Flash trigger cable for external flash, Camera strap, Manual, Battery, Box) (Japan)
- Original brown Voigtländer case for Bessa R3A (Japan)
- Metz 40MZ-2 Flash unit (Complete set with SCA300 hot shoe, Soft case, Manual, Box) – tested and working (Germany)
- Slide and film set (new, unopened)
- Large bag for complete set (excellent condition)

I am the first owner of this Voigtländer Bessa R3A set, owned since new and carefully maintained. The camera has very low usage—approximately 30 rolls of film (mostly family and casual photography). The set was last checked in February of this year and is in perfect working condition.

This is a passion-driven collection from a dedicated enthusiast. The M Lens system, even in analog use, still delivers excellent results. All items have been stored in a dry, safe place, and films were kept in the refrigerator (may require minor digital adjustment after scanning).

The flash unit is corrosion-free, as batteries were always removed, and the leather case is original but may need minor reinforcement, which is easy to fix.

This set has captured over 20 years of important moments and is being sold with a heavy heart to make way for a new digital Leica. Any minor marks are consistent with natural use over two decades, but overall the set is in excellent condition and ready for a new owner who appreciates quality analog photography.

This is the only camera of its kind that allows shooting without squinting, thanks to its 1:1 life-size viewfinder. Additionally, the framing lines for the 40mm lens are extremely natural, making it the closest focal length to the human eye’s perspective.

Regards and have fun.
