A newbie with rangefinder
Hello to all pros out there,
Currently I am using a soviet era rangefinder which is FED 5,
but i am thinking of selling it to upgrade to a bessa R2a/m or R4a/m.
The reason why i didnt include R3 in is because, I am wear glasses so it is difficult for me view the grids.
I would like to ask what is the difference between a and m?
I know that A is aperture priority and M is manual but does A has manual functions too like for example change the shutter speed?
and I would like to end off by asking which R2 or R4 will you guys recommend me
~
haha thanks and cheers! :angel:

A = electronic shutter, battery dependent, auto option as well as all manual speeds
M = manual only, fully mechanical, if the battery dies you still have a functioning camera.
R4 has a VERY short effective base length, inadequate for focusing fast or long lenses, but is great wth wide-angles.
Hope this helps.

thanks a lot.
okay, now I know that A can manually set your own shutter
~haha..
Most probably I may get R2A with 35f1.4, currently still thinking.
