PS am also bidding on this 322457876708 seen it in the flesh, chap wouldn't take an offer, it is immaculate and 100% working, even comes with a case and tiny lens hood.

So you won it then?

The Contessa LK yes, the Agfa no, it hit £76, I bailed out at £42.

[Kenzie]

Wow, didn't expect it to go so high! What will you do with the LK?

[johnnyrod]

Check it out and sell it on. I stopped by the guy's house to see it, doesn't even stick on 1/15 (slowest) and lenses are all clean, looks like it needs no work. I offered him a fiver but I think he was expecting more. A quid is daylight robbery so I'll give him the fiver anyway. I'll keep the hood though!

[Kenzie]

Not a keeper then? I have a spare T20 flash if you want it? The contacts need bridging with foil though.

[johnnyrod]

Nah an opportunistic buy, will have a go at selling locally to drive a bit of interest in film, then put it on ebay if it doesn't go. T20 looks interesting, presume it'd work on a normal hot shoe? What do you mean about the foil?

[Kenzie]

The battery contact at one end suffered corrosion but works ok with a piece of foil to bridge the end. Works ok on a standard hot shoe.
