Drool away.

I gotta admit, even I think the Hansa Canon is easy on the eyes. In fact, I thought I might get two, one for a user, and the other as a spare. Not!

And totally off topic, but I feel sure of interest to most of the denizens here:

oftheherd,

You need to adjust your thinking a little bit. You really need a user for color film, a user for black & white, and one for the shelf.

Oh man! How could I forget color and b/w? Thanks for reminding me. Say, I wonder if I should pick up another so I have a spare for both color and b/w? Sort of makes sense when you think about it, doesn't it? Sure would be embarassed to get caught short. 😀

Those are three very nice cameras! I have always been intrigued by the Compass, but have never seen one in person. It seems like a mechanical marvel, but perhaps not the most practical user with its use of film in a single 35mm frame format. The Nikon S is a nice camera too - basically a near copy of the Contax II. I'll make do with my Kiev 4a, which I think looks just as good and cost a hell of a lot less. The Hansa Canon is, of course, a Leica copy, but with a little more innovation with the popup viewfinder and front-mounted exposure counter. Great items for collectors.

I added a couple of these auctions, as well as the Hasselblad Lunar Surface camera auction, to my watch list. I am willing to start pool as to when my wife notices and questions my sanity.

I'll take a piece of that action! 😀

Like Oldprof I've also always been intrigued by the Compass camera but also never seen one in real life. Looking at the prices they go for odds are that I never will 🙂
