pyeh Posted September 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2014 Paul, I live in Sydney and deal with Mainline a lot, for purchases and for arranging repairs. They are the importers and distributors for Cosina Voigtlander in Australia and other lines. I have found them excellent in every instance and most reliable. Scott Vanthoff is the principal. You'll find him very friendly and helpful. I have no financial connection with Mainline, except for spending a lot of money with them.

platypus Posted September 30, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2014 This is a fine and long established firm. I have dealt with them for more than three decades, originally buying two Linhof cameras and lenses from them and lately smaller things for Leica cameras, such as Artist & Artisan straps. You would be perfectly safe to proceed with your contemplated purchase....have fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted September 30, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I live in Sydney and regularly buy from Mainline. They are an extremely reputable company and I have excellent dealings with them both in-store and by phone. They are also the Australian distributors of B+W, Voigtlander, etc. They give excellent advice and stand by their products both new and second hand. Scott is indeed a good guy! I too have no financial connection with them except to give them money for their products. Buy with confidence 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
