I am very very happy. All the accessories + 3,5E Planar.

I will keep my Rolleicord for color probably (and because as my first real TLR I am very attached to it) but this will be put to intensive use.
 
The Fuji Instax Neo Mini 90 plus 10 x 10 sheets of instant film. In Romania the package was cheaper to order from Germany including 21% VAT and shipping than from the USA without taxes with shipping.

3 Lenses, new old stock. Now I need a camera for them. 6x7, 67 or 67II?

Go for the newest Pentax 67II.
The 1st model that i owned for 25 yrs has no mirror lock up.
A very needed feature..Also with time improvements on film winding. I never had any problems except needing batteries at dramatic events.
I also learn't that the battery holds 4x 44 cells.
I made spare batteries from old housings and spacers..Only use silver oxide. Check your spares from time to time..
The camera is significant in it's weight.
I owned the 135mm Macro, the 75mm and access to a 55mm(28mm in 35) and the 200mm.
The results when i used mine, simply stunning.
Enjoy..😀

I had some major (for me) purchases this past month:

- Gitzo 3532 Mountaineer tripod

- Arca Swiss Z1 ballhead

- Sigma 35/1.4 ART for the Nikon F mount (from Brad here on rff) - scheduled to be delivered today.
 
And here are my two new Plaubel Makiflex lenses, in Automatic Plaubel shutters.
You cock the lens, and it stops down right before exposure, like an Auto Graflex.
I bought these from Helsinki, Finland

On the left:
The 270mm F5.5 Schneider Tele-Arton on a flat Plaubel Makiflex board.

On the right;
the 150mm F4.5 Schneider Xenar. This lens can bayonet-mount onto the new flat 270mm board.
The 150mm has a nice screw-in lenshood built into the front of the lens mount.

Both of these lenses are in the original Plaubel Makiflex catalogs.

The extra Automatic shutter, is marked F5.5, probably intended for another 270mm Tele-Arton.
I have some F5.5 lenses in barrel mount that I can probably use with these, after proper cell spacing.
I'm sure I will find a use for this extra shutter in the future.
