A scale focus camera with a fake prism. Big and surprisingly heavy, with an uncommon front shutter release button. Speeds B, 30-250, Bluestar lens 2,8/50mm.
Bencini Comet NK135 (I)

Yashica T5 (I)
A P&S with a great Tessar 3,5/35mm and an additional angle finder called "Super scope" on the top.
Contax 137MA
The 137MA suffered of the normal Contax disease, the damaged body cover. So I applied blue leather.
The 137MA is one of the quietest motor cameras I own. It features aperture priority AE, manual control, AE memory lock and a DOF preview button. The finder shows not only aperture and speed, but also the frame number. The body came with a detachable handgrip.
Elikon
Two sisters from the East. The Elikon AF is another clone of the Konica C35AF, the Elikon 35 is a full AE scale focus camera.
Unfortunately both are not working, so you´ll have to wait for pics:-(
Yashica Electro 35GS (I)
Built in 1968 this Yashica is still in perfect cosmetical shape. Like many other Electros it suffered from the well known "Pad of death" illness.
After replacing the rotten pad the whole system works well again. I replaced the original mercury battery with one CR123A and two LR44 batteries. This combo fits in the battery chamber without any space problems. The higher voltage against the original battery seems to be no problem (when using B&W film).
Konica Recorder
The "Recorder" is the same camera as the Konica AA-35: Half frame, AF, motor wind forward and backward. Hexanon 24mm/4, shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/500s. It uses two AA cells. After my AA-35 stopped working I could get this "Recorder" as a part of a camera bundle. It´s in much better condition than the AA-35 and gives me the same fun in creating photo patterns.
50mm
I´m a big fan of 50mm lenses. They are light, small and useable in most photographic situations. They force you to go instead of zooming in. I almost never used one that was really crappy. Most of them are cheap, and that´s the result ...
Linhof 220 (I)
The Linhof 220 is a 6x7cm rangefinder camera with a big grip, that makes it great for portrait oriented shooting, but not for landscape orientation. The lens is the famous Technikar 3,5/90mm, that is available for the Alpa cameras too.
