Hello rangefinder world!

[Nachkebia]

Hello!
I have just ordered Zeiss Ikon with 25mm f/2.8 and I am so happy!
It is my first rangefinder, after holding Leica in the local store I just could not resist (leica is way to expensive for me)
So just congrat me and welcome me, I will be permanent brain swriller in the future

Congratuloations, Nackebia! Great camera. Great lens. Great combo.

[Nachkebia]

Thank you people, I am now wondering did I make mistake, I have ordered silver version maybe I should have ordered black one I ordered silver for $999 and they had no black so I am bit confused and stressed

Welcome to the forum. As I am sure you already know, you will find friendly and knowledgable people here.

Hi and welcome to the forum,
I am sure the colour of the camera will not affect the quality of the pictures. Just enjoy the camera and a great lens and forget about the colour.

ops, they have confirmed that they don`t have 25mm f/2.8 in stock. Do you recommend any online stores?
Thank you

[Kim Coxon]

I am far far away, I am located in Dubai, any shipping methot is fine with me (price wise) but it needs to be fast

[Kim Coxon]

You could try any of the forum spnsers such as Robert White, Popflash or Camera Quest. Other good UK sellers include Ffordes https://secure.ffordes.com/index.htm or Classic Camera http://www.theclassiccamera.com/index.html
I am sure some of the US members can suggest a few as well.

I just called up Robert White, excellent store thought it is much expensive in comparison with US stores, So I will try to find something in US.
Thank you!

Try Popflash.com!!

[Nachkebia]

popflash! thanks, I just called them up! excellent service, will order within couple of days, until my money comes back to my card (adorama charged me, then I canceled my order) it will take at least 2 days...
Thank you!

That's the same price as the Rollei RF with 40mm MIG Sonnar. That's unusual to see a 38% reduction in price for a new item.

There is a good thread on the Rollei RF here:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/foru...read.php?t=284

Most hard core Rollei fans saw it as a rebadged Cosina Voigtlander Bessa R2 and were not impressed. The original list price for the Rollei RF was around $1800.
