Dunno if Andy has started to drive south or is on his laptop, but looked
though the box and the Gucci leather cover is missing!  Simply awesome
to hold, love it already and haven't even shot a roll through it. I imagine
this is how King Arthur felt like when he removed Excalibur from the stone.
Anyhoo, first p0rN pic:
Also, the film advance lever is broken off and missing, what's up with that?
I'm kidding.

Congrats, Bob!
I feel a healthy envy seeing the Planar (the best 50mm ever) on an adequate body....
Please, post samples as soon as you get any.
Thanks!
Jes.

Thanks, Carsten and Jes! This camera is a real beauty! I'll be posting
some Reala samples first, can't wait a week to see what I have with
slides.
Jes, I had my first name changed to "Bill" too many Bobs on the forum
already!
Thanks again, fellas,

Thanks for sending this, Andy! Yeah, the Makro-Planar is definitely going to
be the first one I buy. Anything with the letters "Distagon" will have to wait,
unfortunately. Prices for such are out of this world on ebay right now. I
don't find this camera at all too heavy, nice heft and a quality piece, for
sure! Will be burying my nose in the owner's manual for a day or so, then
out to shoot!
@Dave, looking through the viewfinder with this lens is a dream! 
Thanks again,
Bill |

You think that a Makro-Planar is going to be cheaper than Distagons?
Maybe accidentally... but certainly not as a rule.
