Hi,

I'm searching for a Voigtlander dealer or shop in Belgium.
Is there somebody who can help me ?
Thx a lot ;-)

Iori, I can't help you but I have some advice. If the situation is as bad as in Holland (and I suspect it is) than buying a Voigtlander will be very expensive. You would be better served buying from this site's owner: Stephen Gandy, at http://www.cameraquest.com . I did that several times and even including shipping (and sometimes import duties) my cameras and lenses were cheaper than had I bought them in my home town (Amsterdam).

Dear Iori,

As far as I know, there is no serious Voigtlander dealer in Belgium. I have been to Grobet in Antwerp, which you will surely know, and even they could not get it for me.

Go for cameraquest. I did too, and am very happy with its service and prices.

Good luck!

For us in Europe buying from CameraQuest implies paying import duty. Whereas buying from Robert White doesn't.

I bought from Robert White.

There is a shop in Brussels,

Campion,
13 rue Saint Boniface, 1050-Bruxelles

They have a nice range of new Bessa's (not cheap tough) and a large second-hand store with lads of Leica lenses and camera's.

Best to go with your motorcycle, finding a parkingspace is a bit of a problem over there. I have also had a good experience with the Leicashop in Vienna.

Several years ago some Voigtländer camera's and lenses were sold by the 'Action Shop' dealers but that's over.
I did some comparasions between Robert White and Cameraquest. With Robert White you have to add UK VAT and with Cameraquest you have to add the Belgian (21 %) VAT and additional duty costs. This results in a total of approx. 24.6 % extra to pay on the prices of Cameraquest. I decited to shop for e few items at Robert White. They are very friendly and helpfull people. Delivery takes about 3 days, ordering date included.
There are also some German dealers. On the German homesite of Voigtländer you may be able to locate dealers in Germany.
You could also take a look at the German eBay site. Some of the German dealers sell trough this site a small selection of new products.

Best

Distribution is now in the hands of Selection

Euronics Belgium
Boomseteenweg 42 A
2630 Aartselaar

but there is nothing on their website... www.euronics.be

the classic voigtlander distributor was CAMPION but they don't show on the Voigtlander website any more..

(Campion prices-> R2M 250-anniversary + heliar 50/2 = €999 - normal price - but ultron 28/1.9 was €649 - sould be €499 I guess)
