Voigtlander& Sohn Bessa R2 S
The Voigtländer Bessa R2 S is a 35mm rangefinder camera body fitted with a Nikon S-mount, allowing use of lenses from the Nikon S rangefinder system. It was offered as part of Cosina-built Bessa R2 series aimed at users of vintage rangefinder lens mounts.
Sales data for the Bessa R2 S is thin: a single UK auction hammer result in November 2024 sold for £600, which sits at wholesale saleroom level rather than retail. With only one data point, that figure is best read as an indicator rather than a firm guide to what the camera is worth in 2026, and condition and completeness of the original packaging will materially affect what an example sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Voigtländer Bessa R2 S worth today?
The only verified UK auction hammer price on file is £600 from November 2024; with just one sale recorded, that figure is an indicative value rather than a reliable market price.
How much does a Bessa R2 S sell for at UK auction?
Recorded hammer results show a single sale at £600, achieved at saleroom level and excluding buyer's and seller's commission.
Why is the Bessa R2 S priced differently from other Bessa R2 variants?
The R2 S uses the Nikon S rangefinder mount, which is less common than Leica M or screw-mount versions, so its value is driven by demand from Nikon S-system lens owners rather than by general rangefinder buyers.
