Any difference between the Voigtlander Bessa III and the Fujifilm GF670?

[riku]

Anyone knows if there is any difference between the Voigtlander Bessa III and the Fujifilm GF670?

I am wondering the lens (or the coating) is actually the same on both cameras. I wanted to buy the GF670 with the Fujinon lens, but it is not avilable in my area. However, the Bessa II is available.

Please help.

Steven that sells the Bessa III at camera quest has said they are one and the same camera, i would be interested if there any differences as well, but so far no one i have heard has mentioned the lens is any different on either.

the Fuji is available in silver, the bessa III only in black though as far as i remember?

I don't think the Fuji is available in Silver.

I did ask that before I bought it and was told it was Black only.

I havnt heard of anyone with a silver model yet so that would seem to be the case. no doubt it is easier to produce a batch of black with only the markings different, than to make and distribute both silver and black

i wonder if they will release it in Silver! i seem to remember them saying that only the Fuji 670 in Japan was intended to be available in silver

the only differences to the bessa iii are the different markings and the door latch.
