Voigtländer Bessa · Slim Skin Case

What is it?

A specialized flexible case for the Voigtländer Bessa series (R2, R3, R4 variants). It breathes new life into these film legends by adding modern protection and improved ergonomics.

Ideal for film shooters:

Film cameras need love too. This case protects the vulcanite and body from further wear while offering a modern grip solution that doesn't rely on heavy metal accessories.

Key Features

• Smart "Pop-Off" Loading: When it's time to change film, you don't need to put the case in your pocket. Pop the bottom loose and let it hang securely from the strap lug while you load your next roll.
• Sits Perfectly Flat: (Standard Version) No screw bump on the bottom.
• Stability: The case hugs the body tightly, reducing flex and making the camera feel solid.

Choose Your Style

• Grip Version: Adds a significant grip to the flat Bessa body, greatly improving handling.
• No-Grip Version: A sleek skin that protects the camera body without altering its classic shape.

Mounting Options

• Standard (Quick-Release) Mount:
  Perfect for street and travel photography where speed matters. Our custom quick-release "bung" insert allows you to attach and detach the case in seconds. The camera sits perfectly flat on surfaces, and you have instant access to the battery and SD card when you need it. Best for photographers who prioritize convenience, speed and minimalism.
• Tripod Edition (Screw-In) Mount:
  For maximum security and versatility. This version uses a traditional tripod screw attachment, making it compatible with many tripod plates, Peak Design capture system, and other mounting systems. Two screw sizes included:
  • 8mm screw: For direct mounting to the case. Clean, minimal, and secure.
  • 10mm screw: For "sandwich mounting" with Peak Design plates or tripod mounts between the case and camera. Adds 2mm of clearance for thicker mounting plates.

Material

Made from a special high-quality, rubber-like matte material.

Please Note

• Safety: For maximum safety, always use a tether (neck or wrist strap). Do not rely solely on the case to secure your camera.
  
• Safety: When using the 'tripod' version always make sure there is enough thread to securely mount the camera body, do not use if less than 4mm thread enters the camera tripod mount. Tighten fully and check regulary to ensure attachment remains firm.

Thanks

A huge thank you to Brad Kaplan. Without his generosity by lending his Bessa R3M to us, this case would never have existed for the Bessa community.
