The Voigtlander Bessa III / III Wide arguably have a more advanced rangefinder/viewfinder than any Leica ever made, as they not only correct for parallax, but ALSO corrects for FRAME SIZE as the focus distance changes (to give the most accurate framing) and is also adjustable for two different film formats!    Please Note: CQ will not provide repair services of any kind for grey market Bessa III W cameras.
