Vintage film cameras

Lol, Flektowonga. The Flek glass is pretty clean though. You should get it on Tuesday I would have thought. They would be instant if films was available, sadly only extremely expired (1972) type 48 film is available on ebay, but its £20, might get it for completeness. The Model 80 can be modified for 120 roll film. I need to get a new skin kit for my SX70 so I can finish off the repair I did a while ago. Got a 35-70 AC lens coming for the T80, and I got a Pentax MG and Super A for a fiver off ebay untested.

Think it was the right amount? I also saw a 50mm f1.4 Pentax lens, needed work as it had been modified to go down to f2.0 only, something about being used for cine, it went for a decent price in the end. I thought I'd watch it and see if there were no bids. Nice OM4 I meant to say, yoko.

I'm sure there should have been another zero in there somewhere. Quite valuable little lenses.

Nice Pentax kit in Helensburgh

Nice kit, but I have three of those.

I have two! One is mostly fine, the other needs CLA. Flektogon arrived seconds after I posted, it's a cracking lens, long for a short focal length but will focus down to about 20cm! Focus is accurate, I tried it out on the SP500 that's been kicking around here for about 6 months. Must contact its owner some day.

I have two in good order, one beater and one as spares. So actually four. Glad the lens arrived safely. Hope you enjoy it. If not you will certainly be able to flip it for a decent profit.

Got the Flektogon on the Chinon CM3 at the moment. Did have it on a Praktica but I don't really like the look of them. Might look for a Fujica or Pentax.
Quick edit, according to my spreadsheet I have an m42 Fujica somewhere.

Changed the flek onto the Fujica 605. Much nicer shutter release. Going to keep an eye on this 383132508703

I could do with a new case for my Pentax Super A. I think it's the same body as others e..g MG, MV etc. I thought I found previously a page with the dimensions of the film bodies, but not any more. Could someone please measure up say and ME (think the ME super is the same), possibly also the MG or whatever else looks the same? LxWxH and the height of the strap lugs. Thanks!
I remember looking for a case for my MX and it turned out there are no other bodies the same, which I had suspected but the page also confirmed.
