Just saw it, don't shoot the messenger! ,)
1.999 Euros
Here's hoping the actual street price will drop below 1500..

the english version of the site has no mention of euros, just $1,999.
I assume USD????

Likely just a translation issue. Would be nice to give the U.S. a $600 price break, though.

Pickett, I think you are right, just a translation screw up. I wanted this camera so bad to be $1,500. USD so I could justify the purchase, then I thought ahh... what's another $500. making it $2,000.USD. BUT at $2,500/2,600USD it ain't going to happen for me... 8-(

Sad to say I am in the same boat as photony.
or......
I look at it from the point of view that if it is not $1,500ish then I don't have to think of it at all because it just won't happen. Less stress/GAS this way I think.

Well considering that they also advertised the R4M at 799euros and that street price is 669usd, we could conclude that at 1999euros, the US street price for the III will be 1673usd (1999/799*669) !

The best camera is one that still works!
2000 euro = $4000.00 Australian! 
Still no word from the Voigtlander didtibutor in Oz and a definite price was promised for release here a week ago!

Too much stuff
That's just a stupid price. Are they trying to be Leica?

In that case they better ship the total production for the west to the US. Or put a ticket to New York + 2 nights there in the German package. The rate is $ 1.30 to the Euro now. Brooklyn bridge would be nice content on 56x68 mm for a virgin Bessa III.

Well, I would guess the street price might be around 1600 - 1800 euro in Germany. But maybe not - depends on how many of the 5000 pieces they will get ...
The price is "a bit" too high for me, but so is the weight - I hiped for some 800g. The Bronica RF645 seems to me more intresting now. The lens is a tad long for a travellers camera (my opinion) 65 - 70 might have attracted more people, maybe ... Anyhow - let's see how it performs.

While I hate so say so, I think if you wait a few months after the rush the price will drop. Early adopters from CV pay for it in cash rather than blood as those that are early adopters of Microsoft products.
