Show us your Japanese Rangefinder gear!

Daiso containers do the same job especially if it's for carrying ten rolls. This will be good for packing film on a longer trip but not for a day out shooting unless one shoots that many rolls.

All you guys just want an excuse to shop!!!!! Ha! Ha!

good point also!

Is LegacyPro 400 Neopan 400 equivalent?

Yes, that's correct!

You will probably buy a Zeiss Ikon anyway (which is something I will get eventually, just not now), but here's my Bessa, with the Voigtlander zoom viewfinder, Zeiss ZM 50/1.5, 25/2.8, Voigtlander 15/4.5 and 35/1.2.

Thanks. For price of 1 ZI you can buy 2 Bessas! Not sure which im just reading up for the moment.

 

[NazgulKing]

Actually, for the price of 1 ZI, you could buy 3. The price of a new Zeiss Ikon went up substantially over the last year. I think it goes for 2400SGD now. The US price is 1600USD. Hong Kong marches in step with that price now too.

On the other hand, a Bessa R2M could be gotten for under 900. Sometimes I am tempted to get a R4 to serve as my backup camera to house my wide angle lenses.

Just for you bro!

 

[artspraken]

what is so special about the ZI Limited Edition apart from the engraving at the topplate?

 

[artspraken]

this is a big difference

 

[newghost]

this is a big difference

Black Paint vs Black Chrome... hahaha :sticktong :bsmilie:

That explains why I was so reluctant in selling the black ZI... it went to a good home eventually of course!

Gave up finding MP BP and got ZI BP instead. I find it to be very well made actually. Cosina is definitely quality.
