You did get quite a lot for your money there. All in good condition?

Yep everything works fine, got it all from an estate auction, all the equipment used to belong to the state of wyoming the spotmatic f needed a new meter but that was it.

Two of my favourite cameras came for very little. A 1957 Yashica J Star rangefinder for £1.06. Perfect working condition and a great little camera.

And, a Zeiss Icarex 35 that came my way for £36 with Weston III meter, original Voigtlander lens hood, period carry bag, manuals, leather case etc as fresh as the day it left the factory in 1967. Great fun to use. 100% mechanical and built like a tank. Nowhere near as good results wise as my contemporary 35mm SLR equivalents, but a joy and a pleasure to use.

I'll never sell either of them and I'm sure both will last as long as I do.
