Any other "dawn of time" non-Leica 35mm users?

I've always meant to ask this here, but never got around to it.

I have an Argus A I enjoy using from time to time. They're fun, inexpensive little cameras that are capable of surprisingly good results. Mine is in the middle of being overhauled at the moment (home job, involving disassembly, cleaning and reassembly), so I've actually thought about picking up a second one for a spare - maybe an Argus AF this time with the helical focusing mount.

I also have a Retina 1a that got constant carry and use for many years until I quit carrying a briefcase.

Is anyone else out there interested in using older non-Leica 35mm cameras?

I used to be, before I got spoilt with the R-D1.

Yup...Canon IIf, Retina IIc, IIa, Ia, Olympus Pen S.

I started with a Yashica Lynx 1000 and at one time had at least one copy of every leaf shutter rangefinder Yashica made. Every so often I check ebay for Lynx 1000's . It would be nice to shoot one again.
