Show off your TLR!

Topcon made a series of 35mm cameras that were worthy competitors for the Nikon F, and was either the first or second (depending upon whom you believe) to offer TTL metering. They were imported, at least for a time, by the Beseler Company. Their top-of-the-line, the Super D, was the official camera of the U.S. Navy around the late 60s--early 70s. They also made the Primo Jr. 127 TLR, which was also sold as the Sawyers Mk. IV.
 
Buy some of my old Camera 35 and other magazines currently advertised in the RFF classifieds and you can learn all kinds of stuff by reading the ads and reviews! ;););)

This old girl appears to be a bit of a rare old beast and I look forward to seeing the end results of the film I have just shot, If the glass is as good as the rest of the camera it will be a keeper for sure.
The only thing it has not got is a self timer.

Wow -- a 120 TLR from Topcon! I certainly know of the Primo Jr. but I had no idea they made one in 120 format. I must seek this out -- the Topcon RE series SLRs and the Primo Jr. are first rate, so I expect this one is also.
 
Rolleiflex FX-N and last with Rolleiflex 2.8f







Those numbers on the back plate are my wedding date(s) (Arabic date on the top) the FX-N is a gift from my wife.
 
I'm excited about a new arrival today:

This feels like a real camera! I hope to find a Duracell 28L and have some film developed this weekend.
