Voigtlander& Sohn Bessa R2

The Voigtländer Bessa R2 is a 35mm rangefinder camera body with a Leica M-style bayonet lens mount, produced by Cosina under the Voigtländer name in the early 2000s. It was positioned as an affordable mechanical-shutter alternative for M-mount lens users.

Sales data for the Bessa R2 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from January 2025 shows the body selling for £200, which is the only verified data point available today. Because that figure reflects one wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail asking price, what a Bessa R2 is worth in 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market median, and condition, finish variant and the presence of original packaging will all influence what an example sells for.
