My mother-in-law left me her 3.5F Planar when she passed away. She bought it new in 1961. I used it a few times over the years, but it's been sitting unused on a shelf for the last few decades.
I just got it back from a CLA with Paul Ebel. He cleaned it up very nicely and got everything working well except the meter. The meter is responsive but he could not make it accurate, which he said is common. I'd use a handheld meter, anyway, so no big deal.
I'm not sure yet if I'll keep it. I shoot a Holga for the lo fi look, but am more of a 35mm shooter.
A few shots below from the first test roll after the CLA, all with HP5+.
