I have one of those. The shutter quirk worked to my advantage because I thought it was broken and the antique store owner sold it for $20 instead of the $40 he was asking for it.

I unscrewed the front element and cleaned the inner one and must have screwed it on wrong and messed up the focus. All the pictures I took with on my test roll was out of focus. And it tore up the sprockets when I was winding the film back into the canister. Currently mine is just sitting there looking pretty until I can find money and someone to fix it.

My family can't figure out what to get me for my birthdays/Christmas anymore, so they usually hand me money and let me get what I want. This year I decided to spend some of the money on a Rolleiflex. This little guy arrived yesterday. If I didn't know what year it was made, I would not have guessed it was a 60 year old camera. The film spool in it is a metal Kodak one, and from the info I found, they stopped using metal spools since at least the 70s. I'm guessing it was stored in its case for a long time.

Here it is next to my Yashica 635. I'm going to have to get used to the ergonomics of the Rolleiflex, since the film advance and focus knobs are all on one side on the Yashica. The attention to detail in the Rollei makes it feel a little more substantial than the Yashica, but that's not to say the Yashica isn't a competent camera.

Got a second Spotty! The SP on the left. It it in really good shape. I was expecting a beater for the price the seller was asking for. Have to find a battery to see if the meter works.

The little nub clears the Spotmatic, but it definitely interferes with mounting on a K-mount body with an adapter. Might keep a look out for another cheap body to mount this lens on since the Spotty is my only m42 mount camera.

Found a Fujinon 50mm/f1.4 at a thrift shop. Good condition except the blades were a little stick when i first got it. Only works on my Spotty since it can't be switched to manual. Otherwise it's wide open on anything with an adapter. Hope it's as good as the Super-Tak 50/1.4 Also had two Tamron Adaptall with m42 mount adapters at the same thrift shop. Contemplating whether I want to go back for one of them.

Found these three in an antique store for a reasonable price . They have some defects though. The two f1.4 lenses have a small amount of fungus and the 20mm seems to have specks of residue on the outside of the front element. The price was right and I have been after a f1.4 for a while.

My "newest" (it's probably the oldest camera I have right now) fresh from the mailbox. It came with the 35mm film adapter and I was lucky enough to get one with the Yashinon lens. It's cosmetically rough, but all buttons, knobs, and levers function. It definitely needs a CLA, but that will have to wait a while.

The Pentaxes (I know there's a Ricoh and the K-x is digital, but it would have ended up with just the lonely Spotmatic if I didn't group them together)
