Want to Buy WTB / Fuji GF670 black / Voigtlander Bessa III

[Noemi]

Unfortunately my Fuji GF670 (Voigtlander Bessa III) was misplaced or "borrowed". I loved that camera, bought here in 2017, and am looking to replace it. Mine was the black model, ideally I'd like to find the same one, in impeccable working condition. preferably excellent cosmetic condition. I still have the box, hood and filters, so just need the camera and perhaps the soft leather case. Please no extravagant offers, I understand there is a second market for these as becoming rare, but just unable to go crazy.

Thanks again.

I was fortunate to have bought the last one, or one of the last ones, from B&H at a close out price, but when I look at asking prices today, silver or black are not bargains. As for myself, I am so tired of almost everything being industrial black. I thought I lost silver one and became frantic, so I know how you feel. Good luck on your search. Wonderful, portable MF camera.

Thank you, really appreciate your message. Yes, it’s a wonderful camera (although I do really prefer the black version). Glad you found yours.

I'm hanging on to my silver GF670. Just love it. I sold my black Voigtlander Bessa IIIw. Too wide for me, although if I kept it a little longer I could have doubled my selling price :-\

Edit, ok maybe tripled (just checked ebay) good god.

I believe that the GF670 would profitably sell if manufactured again.

 

[Noemi]

Yes I agree

Just missed one recently, so asking again, anyone with a black Voigtlander Bessa III or a black Fuji GF670? Still heartbroken over "loss". Thank you.

When I believed my GF670 was destroyed and gone forever, and finding no replacement in same condition, I bought a Plaubel Makina 67. While not as completely protected as Fuji when folded, and seems a bit heavier, still a well designed camera. It’s lens is slightly wider than Fuji. Of course, after I bought Makina the fire restoration company returned my Fuji. Makinas in good condition available from Japan. All are black.
I am a fan of folders, especially Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta B, but found Super Ikonta C for 6x9 somewhat unwieldy in handling. For that format I prefer Medalist. Both Fuji GF670 and Makina 67 more comfortable in use.
