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. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
