After Zeiss discontinued their Ikon film rangefinder camera last year, the Voigtlander Bessa A models are the next victims of the digital age: three different A models are listed as discontinued on Cosina’s website. The M models rangefinders are not discontinued at that point (the A models have an electronically controlled focal plane shutter, while the M version has mechanical metal focal plane shutter). Voigtlander Bessa are a cheaper alternative to Leica M film cameras with prices ranging from $670 to $800 depending on the model.
