My “new” camera.
Looking forward to developing the film.
Pleasure to use - it’s a Viewfinder camera with Scale Focus only - so have to set distance with some guesswork - set to 10feet and f8 - f11 and I can snap away without worrying about focusing or anything and concentrate on composition

It’s a damn fine looking and feeling camera
Same size and weight as a Leica M3
Built beautifully - all machined and cast - the action and buttons feel as if this is a precision instrument - with the feel and heft as if it’s a gun!
Have to see and feel it to believe it
I bought this in almost mint condition witj original case instructions lens hood and filter (which is attached) for £30.
