My silly ex-colleague got me checking out these pretty rangefinder cameras.

Cosina Voigtlander

The shop carrying these cameras is located at Excelsior, so there isn’t a need to pay shipping or whatever nonsense. One can walk in, get a feel of the cameras, pay up, and carry out. No hassle, no fuss, no guessing, and no silly waiting time. I like that.

These rangefinders come in full manual, and aperture priority. Lenses are made with M mounts (read: Leica-M), so if I ever come into a fortune and buy only Leica cameras, I can still use these lenses.

[Why I would be using these lenses when I could probably afford Leica lenses with said fortune, is still a mystery. But allow me to continue dreaming...]

At a starting price of S$860 for the R2M body, and pretty fast lenses starting from S$480, these babies are looking like my first fully manual kit that I can still afford to dream about…

*drool*

Update:

Now my silly ex-colleague introduces me to Zeiss Ikon… Equally pretty, but a lot more pricey. Great.
