Were all of these made by Cosina in Japan?
Not familiar with Voigtlander.

Yes, is the short answer.
The Bessa T is the first M mount from Cosina.
It has only a rangefinder window. No viewfinder with frame lines.
The big advantage to this is a much easier focusing as you don't have just a small spot in the viewfinder for the rangefinder.
With the Bessa T you use a shoe mounted viewfinder for a given lens.
You can use the RF view for "normal" lens or to find the center of the frame (ish).
These are super cool. If I did not just stretch to the breaking point I would grab this one it is a good deal with the case.
The baseline is plenty long for use with longer FL lenses. Short baseline is the biggest shortcoming (no pun intended) of inexpensive rangefinder cameras Smile
