And, the guy threw in a Miranda Sensorex + lens. > Hi Ben! Same thing happened to me. A man responded to my "Leicas wanted" ad, and would only sell me his IIIf black dial if I also bought his TWO movie cameras. One was a 16mm w/ three fixed focus lenses on the turret and with viewfinders (not reflex). The other was a Leicina (see everybody, not "off-topic" after all). I sold the Bolex for $250, traded the Leicina for some equipment from Fred Sternenberg (a past president of LHSA), so figured out that I wound up with the IIIf and a couple of lenses almost for free. In another purchase (an M3), the seller threw in a Bolex 8mm P1 "Zoom Reflex", a very pretty camera outfit on my display shelf w/ Bethiot Pan-Cinor zoom lens. I still have it for when Steven Spielberg calls. Gary Todoroff
