Good Camera / leica alternative
most of us can't afford a leica, i view this camera as a stepping stone to eventually get one. has great features and build for the money. Only complaint with the R3a is the viewfinder is sometimes hard to use with the widest framelines (40/50mm), especially with glasses. would recommend going for the r2a if you have glasses, or the r4a if you want to use wider lenses.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome Seller, Awesome Purchase
So I was on the hunt for a Bessa R3A in gray for quite a while. I was hesitant to pull the trigger on a few other listings only because they had a physical defect somewhere on the camera body that was just too big to ignore. So when I saw a gray Bessa R3A for sale that looked like it was in excellent condition I just had to go for it. THIS THING LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN PERSON THAN IT DID IN THE PHOTOS. I've shot 3 rolls of film with it so far (Superia 400, Portra 400, Kodak Gold 400) with a Canon 50/1.5 and it's completely, 100% operational with no problems at all. Of course, a few modern Bessas of this type have slight problems with initially winding the film but I quickly learned how to properly wind the film after only a couple of rolls. The shutter is quick and snappy and the mechanism is nowhere near as loud as its ancestors (I'm looking at you, R2). The viewfinder is very, very clean. Lightmeter fully functional and agile. The hot shoe and winder are both is really well-kept condition and there's barely any weathering or "brassing" at all on any of the parts. With the exception of a very small scratch on the bottom of the body itself, the camera is pretty much in like-new condition. Super happy with this buy and I'll be sure to take good care of it well into the future!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
