Shel, 

You must be speaking about the Voigtlander Bessa-R.  The wacky Voigtlander 
Bessa-T has a dedicated rangefinder with a 58mm baseline according to the 
CameraQuest website (http://www.cameraquest.com/VCBessaT.htm).

The Voightlander, OTOH, had a much shorter effective base length, and
for this reason the camera is acknowledged to be almost useless for
focusing long, fast lenses, even though such lenses will fit on the
camera body.  For example, Voigtlander makes a 75mm/2.5 and a 90mm/3.5,
which are the fastest lenses made in those focal lengths as opposed to
the much faster Leica lenses.
