A selection of cameras, in no particular order.

How did you do that? Teach me!
Put up the picture? At the bottom of the page, just above the "post reply" button, is a new section called "attachments". There is a "choose files" button, which will take you to your computer, so you can select a picture. I made my picture quite small, 640 x 480 pixels. Away to the right of choose files is the "add attachment"  button - press this after selecting your picture. Then choose "insert into post", and then "post reply". The picture you see is a thumbnail - click on it to enlarge.

   

This is a Topcon Wink Mirror E - so called because it had an instant return mirror, and a built in light meter. This was a profoundly unreliable camera - I once owned 3 of them, bought dismantled. I failed to assemble one working one from the parts...some of the parts were not interchangeable between cameras.

If you wish to see a professional repairman struggling with one of these cameras, here is Dunedin Kodak repair wizard Chris Sherlock's video

A few years ago, an acquaintance asked me to look at a "Leica" camera he had just bought. What he had bought was a Russian camera, a FED, which had the chrome polished off it, and fake engravings and snakeskin cover added.
I do have other cameras!
