Buying Ikon new or used

Steve from FFordes sometimes has used ZM's.. he was about to sell mine, but I sold it to a fellow photographer in Australia. I sold mine (limited edition 0117/1200) in mint condition with still 2 years warranty for 710£, with shipping and payment fees.

The best place to get the ZM (starter kit) in Europe was Fotologisch (http://www.fotologisch.com/) in Germany. They used to sell tem for 1400€, body plus 50mm f1.5 lens, but since Zeiss stoped producing the silver ones, they stoped dealing these kits. Why don't you mail them? Maybe they can hook you up.

In my opinion, the used market for these cameras has been going up, today I saw a used black ZM today going for 950€ on ebay. I think if you're a bit patient and look around, you can get a good deal for 850€ in Europe, just search the forums.

If you want a new one, FotoMundus in Germany sells the Chrome for 1099€.

I really wanted to buy one new... I know it sounds silly, but I believe in "voting with your dollars." I thought a new Ikon sale would be more more vote of support for the future of film.

But then I saw a demo unit NIB from a reputable dealer, and couldn't resist the $600 discount. I still feel conflicted about it. But I'd rather give Kodak $600 at this point.
