West_ray · 29th September 2004

glennyong · 29th September 2004

extremely dissapointing price..... and i mean it... 5k for a flim camera is too much.. its not as though its a Hasselblad Med. Format camera.... - , - !! aaarrrrgghhhh......

I'm amazed how u guys come out with S$5k. US$2300 with the exchange rate of 1.7 only comes to close to S$4k.

thoa_rs · 29th September 2004

How did you even come up with $5K? More like $4K Westray. Our Sing dollar is not that weak.

think i will stick to my hasseys for film.....i rather get another lens for my 501 than to spend on a new 135 film body...

West_ray · 30th September 2004

Oopz ... maybe i converted wrongly ... anyway whether it's 4k or 5k ... it's waYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too exp for a film slr ...

If only the cam can interchangable with a digital back... else with that kind of price... not much people will be getting it...

How do you get 5082? assuming about 1.75 exchange rate (on the high side), 2300*1.75 = 4025

The price for the new F6 is basically the same as always on all new F-series bodies... just like the F3, F4 and F5. Just for reference, the current quote for the F6 here in the UK is £1499 for the body alone and £1599 for the F6 and MB-40 (quoted directly from Gray Levett of Grays of Westminster).

aiya, whenever a product is newly launch, the price is always lydat one la. when d2h just came out oso 6k, now only ard 5k. think the f6 will slowly drop to ard 3.3k later on when supplies are greater.

Almost an unlikely scenario there... the price of the new F5 stayed the same since its introduction and is only now going through dicounts now that its sucessor has arrived... That's one thing about the Nikon pro bodies, they cost is pretty fixed.

4K is a little expensive. But dun u think a dslr take example Nikon D1 when it first launch is around $10k and look at just how many years only and the camera not many ppl wanted liao. Compare the number of years you can rely the camera, you will not find film slr too expensive. To me, a pro dslr (with a shorter lifespan) is far more expensive than a F6.
