This is Voigtländer R2A, a wonderful modern rangefinder camera that I have been lucky enough to acquire on the cheap. In addition to this camera I have the Voigtländer Bessa-L, and the Rollei 35RF. All three are based on essentially the same body.
Epson made a digital rangefinder (the R-D1) that seems to share the same Cosina chassis that I would love to get my hands on.
This particular camera was an excellent price, as the back viewfinder glass was broken. I removed it and have seen no reason to replace so far, though there is electrical tape to prevent eyeglasses from getting scratched.
