Equipment Type: Rangefinder
Equipment Brand: Voigtlander
Equipment Model: R4A
Price (S$): 620
Description:
An R4A in very good condition. There are a couple of light marks, but as you can see in the photos, it's in very good shape. About 3 years old, but used sparingly as I'm required to shoot more digital than film, so only used for 'fun shoots'. Less than 10 rolls through it in the last couple of years.
As you can see from the top plate photo, it has framelines for 21mm (unique among 35mm rangefinders, if I'm not mistaken). It pairs very nicely with Voigtlander's 21mm/f4, with full rangefinder coupling and no need for an external viewfinder. Great for wideangle fans!
Most obvious flaw is on the back -- a slight nick in the paint at the bottom left, under the film window. No damage to the metal, just the paint.

Lens not included -- I have sold my lenses, so the body is sitting in my dry cabinet all alone. Comes with an original side-grip worth $62 -- yeah, I thought it was pointless at first, but it did improve my grip on the body. A new body goes for $980, so this is in inexpensive intro into M-mount rangefinders.
Pref SMS or emails, but pls don't play 20 questions through SMS -- I find it tedious to type long messages on the phone! Email me if you have long questions.
Also, pls don't ask me what's my 'best price' -- the best price for me is Higher, of course! Just make me an offer if you want to.
I will update the status of bids received on this thread, and hope to finalise the sale by Thursday (10 Dec). First offer at $620 gets it.
