He is at Peninsula Plaza, not Adelphi. But the 07-05 is his address. Buying more Voigtlander stuff from him? What are you using at the moment?

Good collection of CV products. May I suggest the Ultron 35mm/1.7? Excellent low light lens and good resolution and contrast. I have 2 myself and it is my 'normal' lens that I use. I also recommend the new 35mm/2.5 PII for its construction and sharpness. Maybe if you need the new lens urgently you could e-mail Dr. Joseph Yao from Hong Kong. I bought most of my stuff from him and his price is very competitive.

Hello, This is my first posting here on Clubsnap, which I found whilst googling for 'Anthony's Collection'! I met him quite by chance when I was in Singapore last year and wandering through Peninsular Arcade.
I was carrying a Nikon S2 rangefinder round my neck and what better camera to start off a conversation with, in a "shop" like that! Not only is he knowledgeable about photography,the VC line of lenses, but a very amiable and helpful person to boot. He is also a great photographer himself. When I was there, he was giving advice to a young woman who was taking her first steps in photography,and who had brought her portfolio down to show him. One could hardly wish for a better mentor.
Could someone please provide his new address for our collective benefit, and wish him well in his new location for me. Thank you.

Hi, if anybody knows where anthony is now, can kindly pass me his contact number? I am urgently looking for him but he is always not at his shop and he changed his phone numbers already. I also have some lens with him and now I'm moving overseas, I need to get them back. Please help!!! :cry:
once met a guy(mrA) who left his studio lights and camera for sale at anthonys shop. when MrA when back to ask if the items were sold. he replied he had them at home( why in the first place you keep ppl's consingment item at home?) then bad luck or what the person who bought his camera came in asking for some manual other things which anthony promised. MrA was furious and ask for the lights and money back. he returned MrA e studio lights but claimed that has no money to pay him for the sold camera.
MrA ask for one of his leicas but everyone he say is his collection and wont let MrA take it. then MrA got fedup with him, told some voitglander which he immediately consign them at another shop ( which i am very familiar with and where i met MrA)
I have bought some voigtlander stuff from him before and when i wanted a all black setup, he told me to take the chrome lens to shoot first( which he say is his shooting lens) first and his stock will be in within a month and i can come collect the black ones ( a 75 and a 28/1.9)
waited for about more than 2 months and nothing came. worst of all he can tell me that voitglander hand made everything and order is so good that the stocks not ready and anytime will be ready and anytime he will get them. what bull is that. i finally sold off the chrome lens etc off ebay and learnt my lesson. buy something make sure get it in stock, no matter how nice the shop looks, it can be a empty shell....just like the tons of empty voitlander boxes in his store back then.

sigh...its a pity a good friend like that turned crooked. I had nothing but good dealings with him, and got most of my early RF stuff from him at decent prices. Pity he has run off now. For what its worth, he was staying in springleaf rise when i last met him. Might do to go around asking for him and look him up. His neighbors or ex neighbors might know his whereabouts.
I met him when i wanted to buy a voigtlander body and lens, and was told he don't sell any more as he doesn't believe in selling something which he cannot provide warranty. Instead he tried to sell me his leica magazine for $30 a book 
He seemed geniunely a nice guy and invited me to drop into his unit if i ever pass by.

he got removed as an agent a few years back for reasons unknown (he told me) and has been trying to clear stock since. btw, 60 strathmore ave #04-79 springleaf gardens doesn't quite work out right. Springleaf Gardens is an estate. I can't quite recall his house no. but i used to stay down the road from him. Springleaf Rise is the rd you're looking for.
