Cosina is currently selling between 700 and 1000 Voigtlander Bessa-L with the 15/4,5 and the 25/4 a month in GERMANY Tom A <<<<< There is no question that what Cosina did was absolutely brilliant. They took one of the cheapest lower end consumer SLRs, spent very little to remove the prism and didn't even bother to add a range finder. Now these are selling like hotcakes in a country that prides itself on high end engineering, and to top it off Leica is scambling to make lenses to fit this camera. Interesting times.
