Yeah, the Vitomatic pics look good. The Bell and Howell contraption looks like something out of Doctor Who circa Patrick Troughton though.
If you're getting rid of the Zenith EMs Kenzie, I'll have one if that's OK. It was the first SLR I ever used so has a bit of nostalgic/ historical meaning. I suppose I ought to get a Praktica LTL 3 to fill in the gaps too. I'm not sure what difference the A/M button makes to be honest.

I ended up buying the 2 M42 lenses off Gumtree too. Good excuse to get the SV out and ride down to Harrogate. One of those is a Helios but the 44-2 version - very, very stiff focus ring, which I'll need to take a look at I think.
