Default Where to buy a Hexar RF?

Hi,

Thot I post this for gathering information.

I happen to call up Cathay the other day enquiring about the price of a Hexar RF, since I have seen them display the Hexar before. Apparently, Cathay is no longer carrying Konica Hexar any more?!?!

Anybody here got an idea who in Singapore is the dealer for the Hexar? Any info appreciate.

PS: would Buy/Sell be a more appropriate forum for this post?

Think Fotograpfix at Lucky Chinatown has a silver Hexar on sale...

Not too sure about the dealership though...

Erm ... Think that is the Hexar AF not the RF. I believe all RFs are black.
Thanks anyway.

Hi there!
For your info, Konica had discontinued this Hexar RF camera. No doubt, it is a good rangefinder camera but buying it now is not worth while coz Konica might not have the spare parts (since the Hexar is highly electonics) if Hexar need any repairs in the future.

Best Rdgs,
XXX

I'm QUITE certain I saw a silver Hexar RF (not AF) at Cathay Marina Square. Maybe it's just a display set.

I'm actually more interested in getting the AF than RF.

Saw a Hexar RF today on display. A black one with a 90mm mounted I think. Think that CP still has some units. About S$1.9K.

OK maybe it was a black one. I'm getting old. But it was a Hexar RF, of that I'm sure.

Well, you could be right about the silver Hexar RF. I think it is a anniversary-limited-edition thing from Konica with a matching silver 50/1.2 lens thing. Have never seen that before though. Maybe that was what caught your eye.

B&H have a image of the silver RF on their web site.
