Voigtlander& Sohn Bessa T '101 years' (black)

The Voigtländer Bessa T '101 years' is a 35mm rangefinder camera body in a black finish, issued as a commemorative edition by Cosina under the Voigtländer name. It accepts Leica M-mount lenses and was positioned at the collector end of the Bessa T line.

Sales data for this commemorative edition is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result in 2022 reached £900, which sets the only firm reference point for what the body sells for at saleroom level today. With just one data point, the price a buyer should expect in 2026 is best treated as indicative rather than a settled market value, and condition plus completeness of the original commemorative packaging materially affect what each example is worth.
