The best camera is one that still works!
I received this email from the Australian Voigtlander distributor, Mainline Photographics, this morning.
All we can do is speculate and wait I guess!
Dear ever so patient Bessa III folks,
As many of you are aware the price for the Bessa III has been posted on the German website
in Euro’s (1999 of them to be exact).
First let me point out that NO official price in yen has come to us from Japan. This can mean
only two things one the German’s have jumped the gun or that Cosina is toying with us!!!
Going on past experience I think it is the former.
We cannot give out a price until we know the factory yen price. As we do not operate on the
same margins as the Europeans or any were else do.
Also we are not sure if we will sell the Bessa III direct sale only and cut out the
wholesale retail margin. To be honest I’m not sure yet. But one thing we will try to do is keep the
price as low as possible so as many folks who want to buy them can.
I will keep you posted.
Kind Regards
