I've seen Alan Photo having some Voigtlander stuffs. Do go and check it out. It is kept in display shelf in the inner sections of the shop.

Though i don't really know anyplace in singapore having VC bodies, it certainly is nice to have another RF person in the country.

Mr Wong of Fotographfix at Lucky China Town may have 1 or 2 R2a. Call him at 62237217 after 2.30pm.

thanks for the tip guys.
honestly speaking, i am not a true blue rf lover.
i am still sticking onto my d70.
but i do appreciate what a rf can do and its enourmous capability
hence would like to forage into this area

1 qn. how does a avg rf operates in extreme climates? such as up a mountain?
i know a canonet does ok, but how abt the bessas?

Had the opportunity to trade my old nikon F for a bessa R and 12mm lens for a trip up to Lake tahoe last winter. temperatures were sub 0 at that time.

So far, no troubles, perhaps because the R was totally mechanical. Metering was spot on, and the pictures produced by the 12mm were beautiful with hardly any light fall off.

Even for the R2a and 3a, i havn't really heard of any issues from fellow users when they brought it with them through sub 0 temperatures too.

The Bessa R has been to the Antartic and survived. http://www.cameraquest.com/voigrf.htm
