Voigtlander Bessa R2S

Cosina Voigtlander were kind enough to release their Nikon S mount Voigtlander Bessa R2S camera in 2002 allowing us to use all the old Nikon S mount lenses on that body. Not only that, Voigtlander released new Nikon-S mount Voigtlander lenses to go with the cameras. One fantastic example is the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.5 ASPH Nikon-S mount lens. This gives you a modern aspherical lens to use on any Nikon S mount camera and it achieves excellent results.

The Bessa R2S has an internal frame made of Aluminum cast. Aluminum die casting alloys are lightweight, offer good corrosion resistance, ease of casting, good mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Leica M film cameras’ body frames are also made of Aluminum. The Bessa R2S top cover, bottom cover and back door is made of Magnesium cast.  Magnesium alloys are noted for low weight, high strength to weight ratio, exceptional damping capacity, and ease of machining. Leica R9 top plate and modern Leica M digital body frames is also made of Magnesium cast.

The Bessa R2S is a top-quality camera at a very convenient price. The whole rant on the internet about the Bessa line is not applicable to this camera; Cosina went the extra mile adapting the Bessa basic body to the Nikon rangefinder concept. This camera was not meant to compete with its Nikon S siblings, as I am sure the use of said cameras is a whole different experience, but to provide a new alternative to enjoy a long dead rangefinder system.

This is where it gets more complicated. both Contax rangefinder lenses and Nikon rangefinder lenses on either camera body but note the following. If you are using fast aperture lenses at or close to their maximum aperture, 50mm f1.4 for example at f1.4 you I likely to mis-focus if you use a Nikon-S lens on a Contax RF mount camera. The same is true if you use Contax RF lenses on a Nikon S mount camera. There is a slightly different helicoid travel distance between the two mounts similar to if you use a Soviet LTM lens on a Leica camera and vice-versa (they have different flange distance). Slight mis-match. However, you stop the lenses down a bit or use wider lenses in particular (greater depth of field) you can enjoy both lenses on both Bessa cameras.

This (Not That) Old Lens: ZEISS Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZM (Adapted Digital Edition)

In a recent post using the knock-off-ti-lux… …I reminisced about how this lens has served me well ever since I first used it with the Voigtlander Bessa R2 years ago. Has been used natively on film, manually adapted to other mounts, AF adapted to other mounts, and finally on native digital. It is a flawed lens wide open IQ wise but full of pleasant surprises… to me anyway. w/ a Leica CL I had…
