Rare Minolta IIB Rangefinder on Ebay

[CameraQuest]

see http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Minolta-35...174?pt=US_Vintage_Cameras&hash=item4cf6be50de

The last of the Leica screw mount Minolta rangefinders. Also mounting the rare black 50/1.8 screw mount Rokkor.

Interestly enough, the screw mount Minolta rangefinders actually outsold Nikon Rangefinders during the Occupied Japan period.

That thing looks cool. Seems like a decent deal someone got if it works properly.

Torture! at least ten characters -- so I say it again -- You're killing me with this.

Didn't know the last had lever wind...I have an earlier, ca. '48 with the 24 x 34 (maybe 32?) frame which had deteriorated curtains. Still can't figure out how the 4 post type shutter works...meanwhile I'm enjoying the 45/2.8 Rokkor.
