Wanted to share my story - recently hit listing with Yashica Electro 35CC. It were listed in wrong category by non-photogear seller AS IS and overyone could expect low activity on this item. Glass seemed dull but you know, that snaps can be very misleading - I didn't cared much about it.

And you know what? I didn't bid. I know I know, it's regarded as unique camera of era, having large aperture wide lens. Big deal, Lynx 5000 has same aperture, KAS/KAS2 too. Wide? It is, right, but I prefer 28mm over 35mm if I move from standard lens.

I have small black 35MC with 40/2.8 as nice street shooter, got it in same "department store" where CC were listed. It doesn't match CC in terms of focal length and aperture, but...enough is enough. So I let it go and don't regret today. Only pity it were bought by reseller (remember his nick over time) not real user. Maybe I should had it to offer for some RFF member for same price I'd pay.
 
and that is exactly what you should've done bro. next time you see a deal like that, bid it, sell it, profit for the films you shoot. Hey we can all use more tmax rs :D
 
My GAS has been limited by a lack of funds. Self control has nothing to do with it. :)
