Low Serial Olive R2 - 0000330

[Fleath]

I purchased this recently, a fairly beat up Olive R2 body, and had it serviced by my local Voigtlander dealer. The serial number caught my eye, does anyone have any idea of the production number of the R2, or the Olive bodies in general? I'd assume it was the 330th body made. Just curious.

My olive green R2A is 0000184. I think that the olive green R2's were made in a fairly large number. Probably 1000 at least.

My Bessa R2 olive is the 0000319.

Tom, I wish to know if the R2A was made in olive-green. I just have found the Bessa R, the Bessa R2 and the Bessa T in this color.
I just have seen the Bessa R2A in classic black, mat black, gray and navy blue.

Both my R2A and my R3A and olive green. The R3A is a one-off though.

WOW!
Could you gently post a pic of them, please. Thank you.

Must be nice to have Mr. Kobayashi's ear like that! 😀

I came very close to buying an olive R2 as my second M mount body but purchased the M5 instead... and haven't looked back.

I still love that olive colour scheme, though.

I have LN R2 Olive. Thought I would be using it by now but the DRF's have me. If someone wants it I will put it in the classified. Shame that it just sits in the cabinet.

I have an olive Bessa T. It looks very cool.
