A Fine, Precision-made Camera
By kkrome25
This camera stands on its own as one of the modern classic film cameras of today. I like the very grippy rubber trim panels, which looks like real leather. The ergonomics is the best. There is a right thumb rest on the back of the camera. The viewfinder frames are manually selected by a lever on the top left. And the viewfinder itself is just as bright as the Leica M6's. It's even better, I think, because it's a life-sized 1.0, rather than 0.75 on the M6. This makes it possible to keep both eyes open while composing the photograph. The camera accepts almost all Leica M-mount lenses made by Voigtlander, Zeiss, and Leica. You can even use most M39 (Leica Thread Mount, LTM) lenses with a separately-sold adapter. Many people have regarded the Voigtlander R3A as "the camera that Leica should have built." Others have said that this is the affordable alternative to the Leica M7. Personally, I think it's all of those, but most importantly, it is its own success story; a camera that stands as a classic on its own merits. I'm glad that Voigtlander-Cosina is in the business of making fine precision cameras.
