Satisfaction guaranteed. Prices in U.S. dollars. Shipping and insurance at cost. Info on the "Karsh" is in the Konica Auto S3 ad below. I'm going to be away from a computer until mid-week, and will answer enquiries in the order in which they come in. Konica Auto S3. Visually similar in appearance to the Leica CL but smaller and with full flash synch from 1/8 sec to 1/500th. "Quite possibly the best small rangefinder of the 1970s" Davidde A. Stella. "One of the nicest compact 35RF cameras...with fast sharp lens." Stephen Gandy. 1/2" longer and 1/2" higher than a Rollei 35, BUT with a 6 element 38mm f1.8 lens (called one of the best semi-wide angle lenses of its speed we have ever tested) by Modern Photography, GN flash system that compensates for ambient light with any flash, exposure lock AND a rangefinder. Also, unlike the Rollei, the meter sensor is inside the filter ring. Meters correctly with non-mercury batteries, and meter checks out perfectly against the one in my Leica M6. Half the price of a Hexar and easier to use. I have two of these, so this one, with freshly cleaned range/viewfinder, has to go. And yes, the glass on this is really spectacular, even by the standards of this group.. Comes with an original "Karsh" photo -- actually a photo taken of Karsh's grave that is an original Langer, taken with this camera a couple of weeks ago when checking that everything was in tip top shape. Comes with battered everready case and cap. $225. Bessa 66 w. coated Color-Skopar 75mm f3.5 in Compur-Rapid. My favourite lens for medium format work is the Color-Skopar, but I have several Bessa 66s and a Perkeo II, so one of them goes. Slightly smaller than a Perkeo II with same shutter speeds and lens, at half the price of a Perkeo II. Amazing quality 6x6 that fits into a shirt pocket. $99. Graphic View 4x5 -- the same model camera, lens and shutter used by Imogene Cunningham with full front and rear movements.. Legendary 203mm Ektar in Supermatic shutter (recently CLA'd) Terrific condition, no pinholes in bellows, everything tight and working as it should. Back can be rotated for vertical or horizontal orientation. Comes with numerous film holders, tripod mount and carrying case. $349. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Langer Email address: mlanger@ccs.carleton.ca - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
