#REDIRECT[[Bessa (35mm)]]
The Bessa R, now discontinued, was manufactured by [[Cosina]] under the [[Voigtlander]] name. It is an all manual [[rangefinder]] camera that uses the [[M39|Leica screw mount]]. As such it can mount a wide variety of lenses by manufacturers as diverse as Voigtlander, [[Leica]], [[Canon]], [[Nikon]] and even cheap but often excellent soviet lenses.
 
  
Although considerably cheaper than a Leica M camera, it's [[viewfinder]] is comparable in function and feeling. It features movable frames for 35mm/90mm, 50mm, and 75mm lenses. The body, made of polycarbonate plastics, doesn't come close to being comparable to a Leica but is solid enough.

All in all it is an inexpensive, all-manual rangefinder with [[TTL]] metering at a significantly lower price than a comparably equipped Leica M camera.
