Love that you do this. I'm currently in need of a main reflex mirror for an otherwise perfectly working Contax RX. Unlikely, I know. I'll keep an eye on what you have though, as I may want to replace tatty/damaged parts on other bodies.

Not too steep IMO. Several on eBay, mostly cheaper but an awful lot of "untested" (=probably not working well); only a few with matching flash. Sadly Polaroid isn't my thing but if it were I'd have yours over one from eBay any day, esp. given condition, flash & filters and knowing it def. works!

Superb–I really like the geometry and colours.

You’ll get maximum, if infrequent, camera nerdery and zero football from me! I see you’ve recently followed back, so thank you. Double helping for you 😉. If you’re not already following JCH, some top geekery there to be had.

Beauty! I regret selling mine, especially when I look back at one of my favourite ever images which was taken with it. Its hood and filters (which don't fit my Rolleicord) are still still safe, just in case 😅

Know how you feel. I have waaay too many. But I don’t have a Nikon S3 😉

Nice! I’ve used that lab for years and have recommended them to others as they are consistently fast and excellent. Good stuff.

Very nice - mine's called Hassy. In the unlikely event I get another of that brand I might have to have a re-think 😁

It was possibly one of the most annoying lenses I've ever worked on. Fungus removal was the easy part; someone had been in before and taken the repair equivalent of the shotgun approach, putting everything out of whack. All done now - took 5 hours. Now sitting on my Son's Praktica MTL5B 😌

I'm too old / unfashionable to carry most of that off, but the G2 I can relate to. Mine was a gift - literally - saved from going in a skip! Enjoy 😃
