Maybe you can hunt for a 2nd hand Voigtlander Bessa-R body. And top up some more for Voigtlander lens (which is very good also!).
For me, I would save up some more money and get a Leica M4-2 or M4-P (both without meters) which are very very well-made and cost around S$1400 - $2000plus used.

west ray, one very good option is to go the Russion route. They are cheap on eBay and are generally good. Look for a FED5C or a Zorki 4K. They are normally about US$15-$50 .
