It is a GOOD BUY - whether you have a stable full of Leica cameras, are starting out in film photography, miss the nostalgia of a rangefinder camera, are seeking an alternative to digital electronica or simply seeking an affordable, rugged and compact camera. In summary, the Bessa R2 is a GREAT little rangefinder camera with wonderful optics.

There are differences in the images one realizes with film versus images made with a digital camera. A word on that: I DO love my Nikon D70s but also note that I have a familiarity and love of film photography. The Bessa R2, to this admittedly amateur photographer, is a great buy - particularly now as the bodies can be had at a reasonable price with both newer models and the mass migration of shooters to digital photography. I don't mind the absence of a self-timer as I never really use the little buggers very much, anyway. The rewind lever, although having evolved in later models for strength, has a nice feel and is reminiscent of the rewind handle on my (yes, I still have it) Canon P. The optional rubberized handgrip is a great addition for a secure grip and imparts, I believe, a nicer and more secure 'feel.' The controls on the Bessa R2, as with the original Bessa R, are well laid out and comfortable and the shutter release is comfortable and nicely located. The shutter speed of 1/2000 may not receive frequent use but is a great option when shooting in bright situations such as sunny days when there is snow on the ground or high-speed objects such as automobiles or aircraft. The Bessa metering system is superb, the ability to switch between framelines to consider formatting in different focal lengths is a wonderful tool. The Voigtlander optics are SUPERB and far more affordable (with little if any image quality loss) as compared with optics produced by Leica.īack to the Bessa R2: They are well-constructed in metal, compact and affordable.

Needless to say, I do like the Bessa R series of rangefinders and regard them as a superb rangefinder film camera with a nice range of lenses. The rangefinder is a (dare I say?) cute little camera and far less intrusive for snapshots, has nice light weight (read: after hours of carrying a camera), and is a bit quieter than a big ol' Nikon while photographing candid subjects at close range. I had 'rediscovered' rangefinder cameras after years of shooting with Nikon F2S's, F2SB's, FE's, FE2,s FM2N's, F3HP's and, finally, the digital D70s.
