Original owner. Bought a R3A from CameraQuest in 2006. However, in 2008 I bought a Zeiss Ikon, and ever since have used it almost exclusively. As the pictures reveal, the camera is in great condition. I've taken good care of it.
Including the Voigtländer original soft case, special Voigtländer neck strap, and the Voigtländer custom grip, which I must add is really nice. Original box.
The R3A has 40/50/75/90 framelines, easily selectable from the top as shown, and a 1:1 finder. This is perhaps the nicest feature of this camera, and if you get in the habit of keeping your left eye open with the right eye looking through the viewfinder, means you get identical images, fast viewing, fast focusing, and a more intimate interaction with the surrounding environment. This is probably the feature I'll miss the most, and why I hesitated selling this R3A for so long.
I believe all the shutter speeds are accurate. At least I haven't had any exposure problems at all, and the metering seems to always be spot on. Frame spacing is generally pretty regular. The focus seems accurate to me, however, I received the camera with the vertical alignment ever so slightly off. Obviously I never felt it was serious because never had it adjusted, and never found it to be a problem with focusing accuracy.
I'm asking $450 for everything, including Paypal expenses and shipping within CONUS.
You may think the grip is not worth having, but using the camera for a while before, and then getting the grip, I can honestly say that the grip definitely improves handling the camera!
