Got two cams today!

First the postman brought the Rollei XF 35 I bought from Rob.
It's in nice condition (apart from a flaw in the filter ring which I do not care about) and it looks like a beauty:


Thanks, Rob!

And then another parcel service rang and handed me a fully functional Pentax Z-10 that I have bought on ebay some days ago for € 15 incl. two b&w film rolls and a camera bag.


That's a nice cam for my Pentax A 28-80 (that you can see in this shot.)

Very Happy

I think you already have the Rollei's manual
http://www.cameramanuals.org/rolleiflex/rollei_xf35.pdf ( http://www.butkus.org/chinon/rollei/rollei_xf_35/rollei_xf_35.htm )
and regarding the Z10 see Pentax Imaging
http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/manual/PZ-10.pdf ( and other Pentax film camera manual http://www.pentaximaging.com/customer_care/manuals_literature/show_manual )

PS. PZ-10 same as Z-10.

Yet another 40mm f/2ish pancake with a tiny front element ... wonder what it is about that focal length ...

You scored big on the Z-10, and particularly getting the Pentax-A in the deal.

Sorry, I already had he A 28-80. But €15,- for the cam, two film rolls (Tmax 100) and the bag was a pretty good deal.

I'm pleased it arrived and you are happy.
But was the package intact?
I am sure that filter ring was OK, it isn't something you can miss as you say the camera is in nice condition.
Did you check the packing?
It also had the original lens cap was that still on it?

I can't wait too see those Sonnar pics!
I have had one of these little Rollei cams in my sight a few times and never hit.
Congrats you lucky devil Cool
