Added this to my collection of older Kodaks (1907 is earliest).
This is the Kodak Six 20 Duo, made in Germany 1933 -1937.

Working 35mm cameras are a Minolta SRT 101 and Olympus OM1-n.

I am hating you for the 'F'

But cheered myself up with my recent find - a Konica S II - was a bit doggy at the start but she has cleaned up brilliantly and I managed to get the self timer running again. Light meter still works but is out by about 1/2. stop up compared to my SLRs. I think that may be just the fact that the selenium cell is getting a bit more light than a TTL meter on my more 'modern' 35mm SLRs.

Damn this collecting lark has bitten me badly - the whole idea was to make me stop chimping and get back to my roots with film - so far I haven't developed a single role as all my time is now spent fixing bargain bin cameras

Found this locally today for real cheap. It's like brand new. Everything works. It even has a new battery.

There are few cameras with a smoother film transport.

I'm beginning to hate you Mr Brown Where do you live ? Its not that I want to kill you just it would be nice to live somewhere where you can pick up all this great gear. On second thoughts better not - I have bad enough issues with. few local charity shops keeping my cash in my purse I managed to still the urge today to buy a Konica SIII just so my SII wouldn't be lonely.

I have around 25, not exactly sure as they're mostly in storage for now. I have several Spotmatics/F, MEs/Supers, K1000s, SP1000s and a K2. Also an OM-1, some M/S 1000DTLs, and a few Fujica STs. Some others I can't recall at the moment.

I started buying them because they came with lenses I wanted, and my first was a mint ME Super with an M 50/1.4. I decided to load some film and try a few shots and I was hooked, it was the first film SLR I'd used in 30 years. Next stop is setting up to develop
