Accessorised! (UK) Helios finder bargain?

I ordered three, so I have 2 to sell at cost to our friends across the pond should they be interested.
It is definitey not an high quality viewfinder, and the framelimes are very faint in bright light (almost invisible sometimes) but it is usable, and can't be beaten for the price.
 
Just tried to send you a PM to confirm your Email. Your PM-Box is full

Just received mine, the neighbour had it as I was out when it was delivered.

The (Japanese) finder is not the brightest view but far from critically dim either. It's no M7 though. The framelines do fade depending on the light direction but so far I've not made them invisable. With glasses I can just see the 35 frame, with contacts a lot easier. It does not have the 50 lines but it's easy to guess these between the 35 and 85.

I think its worth the six pounds easy. Just need to keep an eye out for a IIIc or a IIIF now. I ordered a couple so I have a spare, if anyone wants one for the same cost + postage drop me a PM. Oh and they have there own case as well.

Suddenly a Bessa T seems attactive again. Time to start saving.

Wonder if anyone still has an extra they would like to part with? I am having no luck getting a multifinder that is NOT a collectible for under $50.
 
Bump!

Langdon has first dibs on zuikologist offer since he revived this thread, anyone else have a couple of extras?

Thanks!

PMs received from flashover and will get back wih postal costs. Looking at ordering another for je2a3 as I've got some other stuff I need to order from Mr Cad also.
 
I know I'm getting in well late here but are there any of these finders still up for grabs? (would take two if someone is making another order) If yes are you willing to post to Australia? PM me :)

I am late...... :bang:
This kind of finder really hard to found at my homeland.
I need keep remain using a turret finder which seem didn't match my zorki 3.
 
I recived mine from Tony (Fred's man servant) today. Thanks Tony. Very nice item and a bargain for the price. Compared it to my Yashica and I will let you be the judge The Yashica has silver bands and only two frame lines wide and tele.

I also received mine from Paul [screwy], thanks!!! I've been using the tele-wide version as posted by flashover and it is very much the same build but having "more exact" 35 and 85 framelines + 135 is a nice option when I want to travel light without a camera bag.
