Bill, Jussi, this looks intriguing:

Does look interesting, Paul, wonder what his reserve price is. Doesn't look
like it has an RF, zone focus.

Why is that name familiar... someone here showed one? too lazy to hit a 'search' Laughing That camera looks to be in great shape.

I bought one for a ridiculous price when I first started out. They's nicely built but frequently have trouble with lens separation causing fogging in the rear element. It's an Ikonta clone.

I wonder why a camera was named after the Queen of Palmyra? Confused

Look Konica Pearl I or II , with little luck you can get them and they are quality ones. Pearl I has un-coupled RF Pearl II has coupled one.
