In my trip to Japan I was planned to buy a cheap second body (Zorki, Fed, Canon P or Bessa R, R2), the 15/4.5 Heliar Asph II and the 15-35 zoom finder.
After made my first used camera route in Tokyo, I couldn't find a Zorki or Fed in the conditions that I was expected, the Canon Ps that I found were a little bit expensive in 25,000 yens considering that the shutter coated stainless steel quality is a roulette. I couldn't find a Bessa R, and the black Bessa R2 was 38,000 yens. I also found the Bessa R2A, R2M, R3M, R3A for a price around the 48,000 to 59,000 yens, and the commemorative R2M or the R3M with the 50/2 Heliar Classic set for 99,000 yens.
... But finally, I found a used black Bessa R2M (Jahre 250) with the 50/2 Heliar Classic set (in excellent conditions) including the side grip for 68,000 yenes (ironically, in a used camera store named "Lucky Camera"). I decided to buy it and re-sell just the lens for 38,000 yens (because I already have it) and bought a new 15/4.5 Heliar Asph II for 46,000 yens. Regarding the 15-35 Zoom Finder, I couldn't have it, in almost all the cameras stores in Tokyo, they told me that the release was postponed without an specific release date.
After all, I got the commemorative Bessa R2M (Jahre 250) with the side grip (basically for 30,000 yens) and the 15/4.5 Heliar Asph II (46,000 yens), and spent a total of 76,000 yens. Inclusive, I bought a 50/2 Jupiter 8 and I still have money that I contemplated to spend.
I feel very happy for the deal!!! 😀
... or maybe was just luck !!!
