Today I acquired...........

[tinman123]

Have you seen the price new!
I did get my mate one for £20 as I had no room but couldn't leave it for that price!, it will last forever and make it much easier to find stuff so well worth it.

if you got one of those for 20 quid then you should go to confessions.
they are fairly big coin alright, that one i have there is about $3,000 new in the states but they dont seem to be available this side of the pond at all unless like in my case it was an American company that brought it here originally.

That's pretty awesome looking

So far I have batteries for the Olympus, it has a coupled/zooming rangefinder but is mostly auto exposure, will be good to compare it to a much older but much more expensive slr with the same film
