The Cosina-made Voigtlander Bessa cameras have created a renaissance of 35mm rangefinders, and will no doubt be the impetus of many other efforts from popular camera manufacturers in the future. While the virtues of 35mm SLRs have experienced quantum leaps in the three decade absence of a 35mm rangefinder system within economic reach of an amateur, the rangefinder's inherent advantages have never changed. They are light, unobtrusive cameras that are ideal for handheld lowlight conditions.

Pros: Well built, inexpensive, all manual, very simple to use, accepts fantastic lenses.
Cons: Requires accessories--no viewfinder, no rangefinder--TTL meter very basic.
The Bottom Line: The "Spartan" Bessa L is perfect as an inexpensive alternative to a true rangefinder camera--taking the same quality lenses.
