Lovely R2 that you have... one of my all-time favorites... sorry that I sold mine. Would like to pick one up again at some point in the future.

Not sure why Cosina changed the shape. The R and R2 were a great design.

Nice line-up... I am especially interested in the Rollei 35RF as it apparently will focus to 0.8m compared to the Bessa R2 which only focuses to 0.9m.

That is some badass brassing (can you even call it that?)! Very cool.

My beloved R2 unit:

I'm not sure which is more impressive, the olive paint job on the Bessa, the TEAC reel-to-reel in the background, or the unidentified guitar. What is it, Rickenbacher?

Enjoy!

Hey thanks. Yeah, I like the old mechanical stuff 🙂.

The guitar is a Guild Starfire (VI I believe) from 1969.

My recently aquired pride and joy:



Bessa L body, Bessa R body, 50/f1.5 Nokton, 35/f2.5 Skopar, 25/f4 Snapshot Skopar.

The Snapshot is permanently fitted to the L. Now about that 15mm Heliar......Hmmmm.........

BTW picture taken with my other favourite camera, Leica Digilux 2.

the R2 focuses to 0,7 m

Nope - according to CQ site and my experience R2 focuses down to 0.9m or so. Actually more like 0.85m, it seems.
