Picked up a Rank Mamiya, which appears to be a rebadged-for-UK Mamiya 4B. Cracking little camera for £10, seems very well built. The meter seems iffy at best, but otherwise all seems to function OK so I've got some Ilford HP5+ B+W film in it and will take it out next week.
This is technically my second RF after my beloved Polaroid Land Camera but my first of this type. I kinda like it. A lot!
I had the opportunity to have a play with a Leica M240 the other day. Something I've coveted from afar for a while. What a let down it was. Not that it wasn't a nice camera, but compared to my Fuji X digitals, it's... well, nothing special? Didn't feel like it was worth 7x the price of mine, that's for sure!

The Rank Mamiya is a lovely little camera and very satisying to use. I have one now but unfortunately the shutter is stuck.
Here's a pic I took with one that did work a few years ago.....
