Voigtlander R*A reduce price

[fuwen]

Hi! For some reasons the Singapore voigtlander seller reduces the price of all the R*A to S$780 but the R4M remains at S$950. Both M and A models are selling at the same price previously.

Any one of u heard of any news from Cosina? Some new A models coming or the M models are better selling?

just took a look here, prices are still the same, maybe a specific dealer trying to flush their inventory.

A models have usually been a bit cheaper than M models. If they had M's and A's as the same price before, maybe they were just charging too much for the A's.

R4A S$780 (approx US$575) vs R4M S$950 (approx US$700) that's quite interesting for me. Have been thinking about a chrome R4 for my chrome ZM lenses .............

What is the exchange rate for s$ and usa$? Bessa/Voightlander distribution here limited to some of the "exclusive" joints and camera swaps. baba

1 US$ is about 1.36 to 1.4 S$. Heard from the Singapore Voigtlander seller that some new lenses are coming but no details.

I don't think there are any chrome R4s - when I got my R4A it was matt black for the A and gloss black for the M.

Yes I knew about that. Have been dreaming on a chrome R4 but if the R4 black is cheap enough then why not .......

For me in Singapore there will be no shipping cost.

If they lowered the R4A price in the US, they'd probably sell more...

Ha ha, Chiif called me and apparently he made a mistake. The price of the R2A and R3A was reduced but not the R4A, which is the same price as the R4M, and there goes my R4 dream ........... 🙂

Chiif is a great seller. I bought a 25/4 LTM from him and he facilitated the transaction well considering I had someone meet him in singapore to deliver the stuff.

I was just in Manila the whole time. He responds quickly and he is easy to deal with
