I got an R2A this past weekend and I love it so far. This is my first modern rangefinder and my first with interchangeable lenses so I'm trying to figure out all the M/M39/M42/LTM stuff so I can get another lens.

Thank you kshapero 🙂


Acetonic, this marine Bessa is very sweet !
I didn't know you could find it in this color (I thought only the old R2 was available in marine and olive colors)

Yes, it's the gray finish. It came out a bit more blue than usual in my light tent for that pic.

A loaner* R3M (while my M6 is in the shop with DAG) with my ZM Planar 50 and CV 28mm finder. Great combo!

*thanks, Tom!

Why would you have a 28mm finder mated with a 50 mm lens?

i love the splatter paint finish too, the matt isn't really sitting too well with me but i still do love my R2A! any one have any idea what strap kid_a is using? it looks quite sweet!

thanks kshapero for reviving this thread! i will post some of mine up on this thread when i receive my Zhou case, anyone here have photos of their cameras with luigi cases or any other makes?

Bessa R+35 and Bessa R+90, vintage Eddie Bauer bag

Bessa R+35 and Bessa R+90, vintage Eddie Bauer bag

Here's my new-to-me pair of black Bessa Rs, one with the 35 Skopar and the other with the 90 Lanthar. I'm just getting used to these cameras as I part with my Minolta 7sii (black, and just posted to *Bay as I write here). All of this feels very different after years as a Nikon SLR guy. Never could justify what Leicas cost, but these Voigtlanders push my buttons!

The bag is a vintage Eddie Bauer fly fishing bag, medium size, that looks smaller than it is and will hold a surprising amount of gear. The Bessas kind of get lost in there! I'll pick up something less conspicuous eventually, something big enough to hold an iPad along with the cameras. (LowePro Exchange Messenger?) Meanwhile, film in the front pocket, flash in the back and a Leitz tabletop tripod in the flap's inside pocket.

The cameras will get the black masking tape treatment soon.

Here's my R2A with the nokton 35f1.4, brand-new zhou's case and the voigtlander wide strap, awesome strap for the price!
