About the Voigtländer Bessa R
Made by Cosina under the Voigtländer name from 2000, the Bessa-R is a 35mm rangefinder for Leica screw-mount (L39) lenses with through-the-lens metering. The later R2, R3 and R4 models use the Leica M mount and are excluded.
What affects the price
- Rangefinder alignment: the double image should merge cleanly at infinity and close up.
- Whether the shutter fires at every speed. Slow speeds that drag or a shutter that sticks cut the value sharply.
- Light seals and the mirror bumper: sticky or crumbling foam causes light leaks. Cheap to fix, but buyers price it in.
- Battery compartment corrosion and whether the light meter still reads.
- A clean, bright viewfinder with no haze in the rangefinder patch.
