Bump!

Im looking to get into rangefinders. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Im looking at the Voigtlander Bessa R3A (I would like the R3M but they're really hard to find). I understand they only have the 40-50-90 framelines but it works for me because I already have the RF coupled lenses in these focal lengths. The 1:1 viewfinder is also quite attractive.

Should I be even considering this body as my first RF body or should I go with something cheaper like a Minolta CLE (half the price) to start out with? or go in on a Leica from the get-go?
