Bessa R2s

[kully]

Looking on eBay for a Bessa R2a, I chanced on this auction for a R2s NHS kit.

For £300 "buy it now", it works out £100 cheaper than just a R2a body.

Anyone got one of these? Any comments the camera? Am I looking at a scam?

cheers,
kully

I saw this too. It looks like a good deal and would be interested in RFF forum comments. Of course, I need another camera like a hole in the head........

See Gandy's site at http://www.cameraquest.com/voigt_r2s_heliar.htm for further details on this (its been discontinued). Remember that it is a modified R2 body, not an R2a, and you are buying a Nikon mount camera, so additional lenses will be much harder to find. I think they were really collectors items (or for people who already had Nikon mount lenses and wanted a new body...)
