I found changing the shutter speed on the Kiev a bit of a pain, lifting and turning the knob, seem to remember it not being as easy as I'd hoped. I also managed to lock the shutter button one time, think I rotated it or something. Nice otherwise though. Meter was rubbish.
My Fujica Super 6 arrived, very nice. There is a bit of oil on the shutter and aperture blades, I want to check the speeds first to see if it is worth cleaning up - I think so. The slow speeds work fine, the RF is bright but overshoots infinity a little - I'll check the accuracy of the RF and focus. The focus lever is very light, it springs out nicely, all in all I look to have finally found a decent one. Glass is totally clear but for a few bits of fluff/dust.
I've got 2 shots left in the Box Tengor and about a dozen each in Pentax and Konica (still) also got no 120 film left!
