What have you just BOUGHT?

Last weekend I bought an Isolette II which, wonderful to relate, has neither lingerie instead of bellows nor green grease! I've been after one for years to go with my Kershaw 450, which I'm convinced is an Isolette knock-off. It's not particularly high spec the Apotar lens with a 4-speed Pronto shutter, but I'm looking forward to it reaching the front of the queue to play with:

Hmm. Looks as though the focus will get cleaned over winter whatever. I got a cotton bud into what I thought was grot in the intersection of the front element and the name ring... and it came away green and greasy! However the grease migrating forwards has saved the shutter blades, so I'm hoping I can get away with just doing the lens. Famous last words...
