Contax rangefinder cameras (Bessa R2C alternative) If however you stop the lenses down a bit or use wider lenses in particular (greater depth of field) you can enjoy either lenses on both Bessa cameras. There is a slightly different helicoid travel distance between the two mounts similar to if you use a Soviet LTM lens on a Leica camera and vice-versa (they have different flange distance). The same is true if you use Contax RF lenses on a Nikon S mount camera. If you are using fast aperture lenses at or close to their maximum aperture, 50mm f1.4 for example at f1.4 you I likely to mis-focus if you use a Nikon-S lens on a Contax RF mount camera. Yes you can mount both Contax rangefinder lenses and Nikon rangefinder lenses on either camera body but note the following. I like manual cameras so the R3M would have suited me better. Clearly I knew very little as I would never have bought the Bessa R3A over other options. I thought Bessa cameras were Leica M mount and there was 1 or 2 different ones. Yes that can be true in part and that was all I knew too in my early film photography days. If you know anything about Voigtlander Bessa cameras you probably think cheap Leica M camera alternative right? (More so before prices went to the moon during Covid!*). ( I was then kicking myself for not starting YouTube 5 years sooner but that is easy to say in hindsight!) Voigtlander Bessa R2C Not all Voigtlander Bessa cameras are the same I founded the MrLeica blog in 2013 to share my experiences and tell the world about these amazing little cameras and by the end of 2019 I finally stopped resisting YouTube. Soon after that Leica hysteria hit me big time. It was this one camera and the amazing Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f1.4 M lens that made me move from pro level Nikon DSLR cameras (Nikon D800 – 2012) to the digital Leica M9 camera.
