Show off your TLR!

Here's my latest acquisition, a 1939 Automat RF111A. This camera ended up being something of a rescue project. I took a risk buying it hoping it was working, but it was DOA. Had it been working it would have been a good deal, but after spending $250 on repairs, I have probably put more into it than it's worth. I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to old cameras and I can't just leave them unworking. It's now fully functional, with good clean lenses. I also have the original Rolleiflex leather case for this camera. Would like to find a period correct one piece lens cap.
I'm part way through the first roll in it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the uncoated Tessar can do.

Thanks, it took awhile to find one with the Yashinon. I lucked out on this one as it came with the full 35mm adapter kit, was very clean, works great and was inexpensive. I just had to restitch the case. Look for serial #s that start with SX for the Yashinon lens.
