The Voigtländer Bessa II Apo-Lanthar is a folding medium-format rangefinder camera producing 6x9 negatives on 120 roll film. It sits at the top of the post-war Bessa II range, distinguished by its 105mm Apo-Lanthar lens — the rarest and most sought-after factory option fitted to this body.

UK auction hammer results for the Bessa II Apo-Lanthar sit at the top end of the folding-camera market, with recorded sales of £3,250 (2023) and £4,000 (2019) — a range of roughly £3,300–£4,000 at saleroom level, wholesale of buyer's premium. With only two data points on file, the market is thin and heavily condition-dependent; as of today a clean, haze-free Apo-Lanthar example is what drives the price, and a cloudy or separated lens can halve the value. Prices are worth tracking carefully because the Apo-Lanthar variant sells for a large multiple of standard Bessa II bodies.
