Canon Serenar 35mm f2.8 for my CL after seeing the same set up by someone else in a thread here. Can’t wait
Ah, MW Classic, the Bermuda Triangle of photographic equipment orders. I ordered three things from them in October last year, one of which was a Christmas present for a friend, and after three months of chasing, put in a Paypal refund request. Funnily enough, that went through within a day or so.
Just bought a Zeiss Jena 50mm f1.8 Pancolar and a Nikkor 85mm f2 AI. Both from West Yorkshire Cameras, which gets most of my business as they are well described, reasonable and exceptionally prompt in sorting out any issue (rare in my experience).

Not really bought, it was a gift from the seller who sold to me my Retina IIIS (see above) 😀
A fun little camera with replaceable front element lenses (I believe, I cannot see the removal tab at the bottom on yours). Note the alternate framelines in the viewfinder. I had a couple of those cameras, in various permutations, still have one with a non-removable lens. They feel jewel-like in the hand, very precise, very well-made. Given time and effort, they can make lovely images as well. Enjoy!
Thank you, and yes, it is a Contina matic III apparently -- the lens release tab is broken off, but one can still remove the front element with any pointy thing.
The Prontor is also a bit off -- some sort of untrue double-stroke is now happening; film advance #1, you can press the shutter release button and it fires; advance #2, the shutter fires *automatically*, advance #3 = #1, #4 = #2, and so forth ...
Perhaps I should put it on the 2018 RFF Holiday Giveaway! List, I hope there is someone who gives that little gem the TLC it needs -- bmattock, what about you? 🙂
