Full working order and  very good cosmetic condition 

The camera body is free from any dents, dings or major scratches. 

The light seals are in good condition and aren't showing any signs of degrading.

Vulcanite covering is complete and in good condition with few shallow scratches .

TTL metering, wind-on, rewind,  shutter speeds, seals, viewfinder display and rangefinder all operating correctly. 

The viewfinder is very clean and the 50/40/90/75mm  framelines are all bright and visible. 

All framelines work correctly using the frameline selector dial on the top of the camera.

    The rangefinder is accurate with a clear secondary image. 

I have tested the camera with a roll of film and the mechanics and shutter working fine. 

The camera has some very useful features. First is the 1:1 viewfinder. If you are left eye dominant (like me) you will find it much more comfortable shooting with both eyes open. Next is the variable crop marks which allow you to see how your image will turn out with a 75, 40, 90 or 50mm lens. Lastly is the AE lock on the rear right - if you are lining up a shot on Auto Exposure mode, this button allows you to select the area of the image with the most light balance, before lining up your shot.

I would strongly recommend this camera to someone who is looking to enter the film rangefinder market

 but doesn't want to spend the money on a Leica.

Bessa R3A specs

• Leica M mount cameras with aperture priority AE  or metered manual exposure
• The finder is very bright, with a very bright RF focusing patch, as well as bright easy to see framelines. 
• Finder 1:1 life size, 40/50/75/90 framelines
• Rangefinder Close Focus .7 meter
• Rangefinder Base length of 37mm: This translates to an effective rangefinder base length of 37mm for the 1.0x magnification
•  R3A Rangefinder coupled close focus is .7 meters.  If a particular lens allows closer focusing than .9 meters, set focus using the distance scale focusing on the lens barrel.  
• Electronic Shutter, 1-1/2000 plus B manually selected speeds,  8-1/2000 on AE
• This Shutter is noticeably quieter than the mechanical shuttered R2, but not as quiet as a Leica M camera.
• Electronic Flash sync 1/125th, via hot shoe or PC connection at the end of the camera near the rewind lever.  It is worth mentioning the PC connection is much better located at the end of the camera, then at  the middle of the back of the top plate where it is continually in the way on the Leica M series.
• Like most electronic shutters, if the batteries die, the camera dies.  Thankfully the batteries are easy to find SR76, and the camera has low electricity  consumption.
• Two 1.5V Alkaline batteries(LR44) or Silver batteries(SR44).  Electronic shutters powered by only two small easy to find LR44 batteries, not the often hard to find  Lithium batteries used by some camera manufacturers.
• Centerweighted TTL Metering for ambient light read off the outer light tight shutter curtains
• Metering in Manual or AE with AE Exposure Lock  Yes, unlike the Minolta CLE, the new Bessas have metered manual exposure.   
• EV1-19(ISO 100, F4, 1 sec.-F16, 1/2000 sec), ISO 25-3200
• LED Shutter Speed readout from 1 to 2000 at the bottom of the finder.   On manual exposure, the chosen shutter speed dial is lit, while the suggested shutter speed blinks.
• AE Selected shutter speeds are stepless 1/2000th to 8 seconds.  The LED speeds indicated in the viewfinder are rounded off.
• The meter display activates after the shutter is advanced and the shutter release is pressed.   The display goes out after you shoot,  or about 10 seconds after  you remove your finger from the shutter release.  The red LED readout at the bottom of the finder is easy indoors, but still very usable outdoors.
• Exposure Compensation +/- 2 f/stops on AE, by rotating the shutter speed dial.
• AE Exposure Lock button is located on back of top plate near film advance.  Keeping  the button depressed with your thumb holds the AE exposure and freezes the finder display.
• Low Batteries are indicated by blinking LEDs at the farthest ends of the shutter speed readout.
• Manually set Film Speed ISO 25 to 3200, no DX
• Manually selected framelines, The R3A has 75, 40/90, 50 combinations. 
• Diopters: the new Bessas take the same eyepiece diopters as the Nikon FM3A
• Ratcheting film advance, 45 degree standoff and 120 degree advance stroke
• Rotating shutter lock on shutter release, this takes some getting used to or you may lock the shutter without intending to.
• Size: 135.5(W) x 81(H)x 33.5(D)mm, 430 grams.  Slightly shorter than a Leica M body, and slightly taller.  The Bessa R3A use the previous Bessa RF cases.
• Takes standard Bessa Accessory Grips and Trigger Winder
• The machined rewind lever is much heavier and stronger than the cast R/R2 rewind lever.  To rewind the film, push in the rewind button on the camera, and rewind the film by first raising the end of the rewind lever.   When the film is rewind, pull back the lever at the base of the rewind knob, raising the rewind knob to open the camera back.
• Camera Film Back release is a lever located at base of rewind knob.
• Film reminder window on camera back
