Hello all,

I'm currently shedding some gear as "the boss" has me on a strict 1-in 1-out policy. Apparently 30 cameras is enough for anyone. Who would have thought?

Am parting with my Voigtlander R3A Bessa. This was purchased in Japan in July 2010. As you can see from the pictures it's in excellent condition and has seen very light use - I've taken it out maybe a dozen times or so. Also for sale is a Nokton 40mm f/1.4 SC. The lens is in like new condition and was used only 4 times (preferred the 35mm cron which I'm not giving up!), is still in the box and comes with all paperwork, receipt etc. It was purchased from Map Camera in Tokyo also in July 2010.

The lens goes for US$529 new on dealers like cameraquest and ebay . I'd be willing to accept $450 - which is $80 off retail. Offering the camera for $420, which is $50 less than the last completed sale on eb@y for a piece in similar condition (sold on 27th January). All nett to me.

If you by the camera and lens together for the above price I will throw in the following free extras valued at $135:
- Original - and very retro - Voigtlander neck strap ($40 value)
- metal vented lens hood ($10 value)
- Marumi MC U/V filter 43mm diameter - like new in box ($25 value)
- Marumi MC yellow (Y2) filter 43mm diameter - like new in box ($25 value)
- FREE SHIPPING to US, EU, UK & Australia by trackable post ($35 value). I'm based between Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Thanks for looking. Happy to answer questions.

Thanks. I'd prefer not to part with it. Making space for an X Pro1.

Just looked thru your site. Wonderful photos! I'm on a bit of a B&W bent at the moment.

Bump.

Thought the price was fair but no takers. How about $750 for the lot (nett to me) which would include free shipping and all extras?

Thanks for that!

That does sound like a great camera (the X pro) ... what lenses are you getting with it? This does indeed seem like a fair price. I am looking for an R41 with 21/35/50 combo sometime in the near future (my B-day is in April).

Just the 35mm for now. An M mount adapter will be available so there are plenty on other lenses sitting in my dry cabinet to try out. End of February can't come soon enough!!!
