Does Voigtlander or Bessa have a website?

Thanks,

Clint

Hi, Clint -- Sure! Here are a couple resources. The Voigtlander and Bessa names are licensed by Cosina, which makes the gear.

PS - I'm really wanting to get myself one of those new M42 SLRs. I have some M42 lenses, but I'm not having good luck finding a decent M42 body - they're all pretty old now, and most need work. It would be very nice to have a decent internal meter, even if it is stop-down metering.

Last summer I wanted to try a Russian made Zenit. I have two LTM's (39mm, but don't put the lenses on a RF) from 1962, but I wanted one of the newer 42mm ones. A web search turned up E.P. Levine a Boston camera store with an excellent reputation.
http://www.cameras.com/ I got one for $49.95 plus about $6.00 postage. It came with a Helios 58mm f2 lens (fully automatic). The camera is in very good shape and functions perfectly, the lens appears to be mint. They apparently have more of them at the same price. Log onto the web site and in the search space at the top left hand corner of the home page type zenit. For fifty bucks you will get a very interesting camera not known for great reliability, (but mine is OK) and another pretty good 42mm lens.
Good luck.

P.S. The serial numbers indicate mine was made in 1992
