Would a Cosina-branded 25/4 sell for more than the current Voigtlander one?

[ScottS]

My 25/4 must be one of the early ones (made along with the Cosina SW-107), as both the lens and the finder are branded "Cosina" rather than "Voigtlander"

Stephen Gandy is selling the SW-107 for a significantly higher price than the Bessa L (presumably based on rarity alone). I'm wondering if my 25 would also get a premium over the $175-200 that the CV 25+finder seems to go for used.

(I'm not selling it right now, but I will probably sell it if I end up purchasing a RF-coupled 21 or 25)

It would be of higher price to a collector. I would pay the higher price if I want to colllect one.

As a user, I couldn't care less, it's the glass that counts.. If I were a collector, I wouldn't bet on either incarnation of the CV25/5 to gain value considerably (same as for the bessa-l vs sw107)...
