Look what came in the mail

It actually came a week ago, but I did not know about this thread. I got my Hi-Matic 7sII and it is in working order. I gave it a good cleaning and I have loaded it with Reala 100 and plan to do some shooting this weekend.

Again I found two babies in the mail, the below IIIf last weekend and today the IIIf with ST.
What I didn't realize until I put the two next to each other, is that the one with the selftimer doesn't show screws for the attachment of the top plate. I have looked at other pictures, and most other cameras seems to have the screws like the one without the ST.

My CZJ 50mm/2.8 Tessar in LTM arrived today. It looks shiny and beautiful. I wonder how this lens compares with the older style Elmar 50mm/2.8.
 
I received a Rolleiflex 3.5E TLR, plus three 5cm Tessar lenses (for Exakta, Contax RF, Praktiflex).
 
My 1946/47 Leica IIIc turned up. It's already had a service on it. All it's missing is a Summitar 50mm f/2. from a similar year. ;)

Glad you like it. Sorry it took a long time for it to get there - mail is slow these days.

It came very quickly, but it got stuck at the Royal Mail Collection Office because of customs fees, and I didn't get a chance to go pick it up until yesterday. She looks lovely on my Bessa, I'll post picks sooner or later.
 
After opening the package and then clearing away about 40 years of crud, I found that a well worn Minolta SR-T 101, with the original black shutter dial, had been delivered. It is in need of some TLC, but otherwise fully functional with a responsive meter. Well, not bad for less than the cost of a fast food lunch. :D

And here it is with my Hi-Matic 9 from the same year of 1966.

And now for the 2nd Minolta SR-T 101. This time a later Silver Dial. This one came in Very Good condition and will be a keeper. Also got an 80-200mm f 3.5 zoom to try out. The lens is JC Penny, but from what I've read it was manufactured by Minolta. Does anyone know for sure?

Looks like I'm up again.

Here is a pic of the 3 Prime lenses that I've recently gotten to use with my Minolta SR-T 101. Got these for less than $50.00 for all three; the 28mm even has the caps, hood and case. They are in excellent condition and have worked very well with the camera. Have sent the test roll off to be processed.

In September, I received a Nikkor 28/2.0 AIS for $275 [before shipping and import taxes] in mint shape.

Also I received this week a Nikkor 20/2.8 AIS in mint shape for $250.43 [before shipping and import taxes].

These are my early birthday/christmas presents to myself.

[I am done for a while now! :D]

Thanks to Gabor, my "new" M4 just arrived (now my battery-independent "backup" to my Zeiss Ikon ZM) ... along with his generous additions of a Digisix, M3 film advance lever, and UPstrap -- now, time to go run film through it!

(Thank you Gabor -- what a fantastic and smooth transaction!)
 
I just received a Franka Solida II.
Excellent condition, the vertical alignment on the RF is a bit off, but I can deal with that.
Pictures soon.
