Works fine, clean with both caps...

I wanted an SLR that I could throw into my bag and keep with me every day, so I bought a Nikon F3 with an AI-S 50/1.4 lens (both in mint condition).
But I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I think I should have bought a Leica R6 (best SLR ever, IMHO) or an SL2 (cool looking!) instead.

A nice copy of the original catalogue of the "Family of Man" exhibition from 1955.
And I decided to keep the Leica M1 that I've recently bought, because the seller offered me a partial refund for the misadjusted shutter speeds. I'll get it repaired, but now I feel that it's time for me to stop buying cameras for a while and sell some stuff...

Zeiss Pro Tessar 35mm f/3.2 for Contaflex. I thought I could adapt it, but seems like more trouble than it's worth so up to eBay it goes.

A quite used (and with some minor lens issues) Zeiss Ikon 530/2 from c.1936. But on the other side, much more cheap that I could imagine...

I bought a Praktica PLC3 with never-ready case and strap.
The strap is too short for me so I'd have to chuck that.
The case feels like really cheap plastic, which surprised me as it looks like a leather one you'd get with other makes of camera.
The self-timer tries to not be moved upwards and instantly snaps back into place while firing the shutter.
When set to 1 second, the camera 'sort of' stalled for about the first 3 firings, making a quiet sound that was a bit like a someone trying to start a car with a flat battery, and the aperture blades stayed closed to the f-number while it did so.
It seems to be alright now, but I don't know how much risk there is of it 'sort of' stalling again.
The meter does work with an AA battery, but the needle seems a bit slower than I remember either of my previous two.
That's probably down to the much lower voltage. I should've waited until i could get a 4.5v battery.
I could've sworn the manual says the needle at rest should be just below/at the bottom of the "0" in the viewfinder, but I can't see that bit now.
With all this fault-finding, I suppose I'm not quite as 'enthusiastic' about as I'd hoped.

An M42-mount Meyer-Optik Görlitz Domiplan 50mm f/2.8.
Pretty crappy lens, but should offer some good glowy shots.

A beauty of an Olympus OM-1 with 50mm and 28mm Zuiko lenses.
Been wanting one for a long time, found one at a great price.
