Default Re: Vintage film cameras

Nah I have too many and I don't really like having stuff that I don't use. I have a Contessa LKE which is very similar but without a hot shoe and without the auto flash aperture, though I like it more, and also a Contessamat SBE which is the same but with shutter-priority auto exposure. All three have the same lens so nothing to choose from there.

Got the shutter and aperture done, just need to clean the glass and put it back together, also test the shutter times. I'm not sure if they're adjustable, found out in a larger Compur shutter that you can alter the position of the escapement slightly to adjust the shutter speeds. The rangefinder needs looking at, either cleaning or maybe see if I can swap some bits from a donor camera I have, then collimate it all and stick some film in it.
