dave chilvers Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · I`d have killed for this in my film days http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/product.asp?P_ID=2418&PT_ID=586 A new Voigt folding 6x7 Nostalgia Dave Apr 03, 2009 at 01:46 AM

jcolwell Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · I`d have killed for this in my film days It looks like a real peach! It's been discussed a few times on this and other forums, since last fall. I just checked the .DE site (http://www.voigtlaender.de/cms/voigtlaender/voigtlaender_cms.nsf/id/pa_fdih7jzkae.html), and its sticker price is 1.999 EU - a bit steep IMO. This is the first time I've seen a price for it. Apr 03, 2009 at 02:49 AM

rico Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · I`d have killed for this in my film days Last time I used a folder (6x6) was 1976, and it was 30-years old even then. The new CV/Fujifilm folder has two intriguing qualities: factory-fresh smell, and an auto-exposure mode. I'm getting one. Apr 03, 2009 at 06:04 AM

Conner999 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · I`d have killed for this in my film days I was interested as well, but then I compared the price to a used Mamiya 7/II and a lens or two.... Apr 03, 2009 at 10:50 AM

Price-wise though, I'd take either the aforementioned Mamiya or better yet one or two of the Fuji GS(W)-670/690 series. Apr 03, 2009 at 02:13 PM

Greg Campbell Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · I`d have killed for this in my film days Nifty, but I don't understand the price. It can't cost that much to develop or build a camera like this. Apr 03, 2009 at 04:39 PM

It can't cost that much to develop or build a camera like this. Low-rate production drives the price up. It does cost a fair bit to develop a camera that has no relation to any previous camera parts-wise, and prospective sales are going to be rather low (I'd be surprised if it sells more than 1-2000 units over the entire production run). That means a high cost of production as you are making parts in small batches and you also have to amortize the development cost over the small run (even if it only cost say $50k to develop, that's going to be a $50 per camera sunk cost) and thus a high price. It does have one major advantage over the Mamiya 7II, you can put it in your pocket. Apr 03, 2009 at 04:42 PM

edwardkaraa Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · I`d have killed for this in my film days With the death of optical printing, I see no point in shooting with one of these especially if you're going to scan the film. I would rather shoot digital directly. Now if you print your own BW, then that would be another story altogether. Apr 03, 2009 at 04:48 PM

Nothing even vaguely similar available in the digital world. Apr 03, 2009 at 04:53 PM

Daniel Buck Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · I`d have killed for this in my film days Wow, that seems kind of expensive for a folder! You can get a nice Zeiss folder for much cheaper! Maybe not as refined, but works just fine Interesting to see Voit put out a new folder, very sweet! I carry my 6x9 folder with me when I'm hiking and don't want to carry my bigger cameras Great design, these folders! Apr 03, 2009 at 05:06 PM

Ed Sawyer Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · I`d have killed for this in my film days Yeah, I don't know of any commercial labs near me either that run a minilab that still does optical. But I do my own color and black and white darkroom work so ultimately it's a non-issue to me personally (though I do need to finish setting up my darkroom asap) -Ed Apr 03, 2009 at 07:42 PM
