Lovely cameras. I was going to get one about 10 years ago when I shot a lot of film.

I hope you enjoy it!!

Thanks guys.

It is a beautiful thing and I've very much enjoying putting my first roll of film through it. I'm a little mistrustful of the selenium meter and its associated circular "information system" on the rewind side so am using a separate light meter.

It's a sufficiently quirky design as to require careful manipulation; no the "contax/kiev grip" is not yet instinctive!

It's obviously a bit of a backwater but then what film camera isn't?

Its a late model which were known to be temperamental. But as Oleg supplied it is likely to be ok. Nice Helios 103. My favourite lens in this fitting.
