Zeiss SW Bodies available but ...........

[fuwen]

Guess I would prefer a R4M or a T.

But maybe can still stock 1 or 2 guess there will always be buyers or collectors.

Expensive M-mount Bessa L?
Expensive Bessa T with no RF?

Nah, I doubt it.

I looks cool, though, and I guess that in RF-land that is enough for some.

 

[darkkavenger]

I believe there will be some Zeiss die-hards that will purchase one or two bodies at least.

 

[Rayt]

I own an M1 and know first hand how much it sucks.

 

[Avotius]

I had a feeling the moment this camera came out that people would thumb their noses at it and I dont blame them. With the R4 who would want to buy this thing? Heck you could get a decent m6 for this much...

 

[jaap]

it's a lot of money for a box ;->

 

[Andrew Sowerby]

A few months ago I would have said stock a few of them. But now, like most other folks here, if I was looking for an M mount body for wide lenses I'd just wait for th R4A/M.

I have been wondering about this camera since it's introduction a few months ago, read more here:

I think I know the logic behind this camera now, look at this:

Good enough reason???

As you can tell by my name, I have no knowledge of Zeiss Ikons! but when I saw this incredible collectible(I wonder how many there are, it must have been a flop!!)....I figured out the reson behind Mr K's creation.
Zeiss is making the 15mm f2.8....the only lens other than the 85mm being produced in Europe!! What a match made in heaven!!!:angel:

Certainly the inspiration for the Bessa Wide angle (L?). Thanks for the link.

 

[BillBingham2]

Kius find is a very smooth camera. When you look at the SW with the 15/2.8, it's a moster (size-wise). I think ZI is building the suit of lenses for a digital camera body.

Personally I don't think it would be worth that much - I'd rather spend that on a nice M4-P. That said, I did vote yes because the market being what it is, you will get some sales. Probably not many so your stock should probably be only one or two...

Zeiss SW Bodies available in Black or Silver for $927.00 but will they sell?

We are having a BIG problem whether to stock the Zeiss SW bodies. Can you help me make this decision?

Thank you ALL for all your input on the Zeiss SW. We decided to bring in jsut a couple. Please go to the RFF Classifieds.

[Avotius]

sounds like the right thing to do, no need to stock 50 of them because they probabl wont move. A few sounds about right.

 

[Dougg]

If those few brought in result in enthusiastic posts here in RFF, that could cause enough of a GAS attack to justify restocking...

 

[c.poulton]

I voted yes. Not because I'm going to buy one, but because there will be two or three people out there who will want one.

Ditto - stock one or two and see how they sell....

 

[Bill58]

Is the price of the SW w/ 15mm really $5,059.00 or a typo as advertised in the Classified section here?
