the RTS III is the ultimate manual focus SLR, definitely.
Loved mine while I had it.

Really interesting cameras, not widely available I find which is a pity.
An interesting anecdote is that both my father and my uncle had a TLS 401 as their first SLR (and first real camera) in the early 1970s. (Which I did not know when acquiring this camera). My father still has the camera while my uncle sold it to buy a Canon F-1 a few years later.

Bought this off of ebay to get the waist level finder that was on it. Was thinking about turning around and putting the camera right back on ebay, but I kind of like it. It feels pretty cheap though, this was made long after Ihagee Dresden bit the dust.

Where the waist level finder went. Unfortunately I found out that the waist level finder made for Exas in the 1970s is cheaper/crappier than the "authentic" Exakta WLF of the 60s. It has a pretty terrible plastic magnifier that blurs the whole image except for the very center.

One of my "scores" at yesterdays local swap meet. Nikon F, #643xxxx (too lazy to check the number) and a 58mm f1.4 - and all the paperwork from when it was bought in Tokyo in May 1961. OHBA Camera Company - dont know if it still exists. Cost was $ 172,29! In the price list is also listed Nikon SP with 50mm f1.1 for $ 243,69!!!!! How do you make a time machine?

Nice on Tom. Scoring such a pretty camera is already a plus. The paperwork just makes it all the better!

I did scan some of the Tax Free price list from 1961. the cameras are interesting - but I love the Transistor Radios - remember those. You can find the images on our Flickr site.
